Public Advisory – Unplanned Water Disruption Notice

Unplanned Disruption Notice

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our customers that a burst has developed on the Raw Water Rising main fed by Pumps 3 & 4, which will be shut down to dewater, to allow the teams to safely access and excavate the site to assess and determine the extent of damage. Rising Main fed by
Pumps 1 & 2 will be operated to maintain inflow into the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant.
