WAF would like to inform its customers that repair work is critical to address major water loss from this leakage and avoid further damage to the air valve connection and DN600 trunk main should the repairs be prolonged. This will have a further impact on supply to the customers and higher system downtime to address the leakage should the leakage be left unattended.

During the temporary disruption period and for the duration of the repair works, the Lautoka system feeding from the Nagado Water Treatment Plant will be experiencing low water to no water supply.

Water supply to the areas listed above shall be progressively normalized by 12 am Monday (09/09).

Customers residing in the areas listed above are advised to store water for use during this temporary disruption period.

WAF urges customers to conserve and store sufficient amounts of water to last them for at least two to three days in their homes at all times. Customers are also encouraged to invest in storage containers or water tanks connected to the water system for storage and backup water supply during any unplanned disruption that may arise due to emergency works or natural disasters.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your understanding and patience until such time water supply is normalized.

Water carting trucks will be on standby to service the affected areas during the temporary disruption period.

For further enquiries, customers can call (679) 3346777 or short code 5777 (all mobile networks) the WAF Mobile App or email us at contact@waf.com.fj
