Public Advisory – Unplanned Water Disruption Notice

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our valued customers residing in Ba that due to the heavy rains currently being experienced, all 4 raw water intakes are currently blocked.

This has resulted in low to no raw water inflow at our Waiwai Water Treatment Plant.

Customers in the area are kindly advised to store sufficient amounts of water, while it is available to last them for at least 2 to 3 days and are requested to use water wisely during this temporary disruption period.

Water carting trucks are on standby and can be requested in case of an emergency by calling 9104900

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your understanding and patience until such time supplies normalise.

For further enquiries, customers can call 9104900 or email contact@waf.com.fj
