COVID-SAFE MEASURES

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise all of our customers that in light of the widespread community transmission of COVID-19, WAF has implemented further safety measures for the protection of its customers and staff.
All WAF customers and visitors visiting any WAF premises are advised that effective from Wednesday, 21 July 2021, all unvaccinated persons are requested to make an appointment prior to visiting any WAF premises.
This will enable WAF to ensure that on the date and time of the appointment, the customer or visitor is seen and attended to by a fully vaccinated employee who is wearing additional protective equipment.
Partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated persons may continue to enter WAF premises without an appointment during normal operating hours provided that the customer or visitor produces his/her vaccination card prior to being allowed entry.
The following requirements remain in place for all customers and visitors regardless of their vaccination status when visiting any WAF premises.
All customers and visitors must:
(a) wear a face covering;
(b) undergo temperature checks at the entry point of WAF premises;
(c) download the careFIJI mobile application and keep bluetooth activated to enable better contact tracing. In the event a customer or a visitor does not have a smart phone, he or she is required to record their details in the manual register kept at WAF premises; and
(d) maintain a physical distance of 2 meters away from another person in a queue.
Customers or visitors who breach any of the safety protocols above or are found to have a temperature at fever point will not be permitted entry inside the WAF premises.
WAF customers and visitors are further advised that WAF offices are not functioning at full capacity as a number of our staff are working remotely in order to ensure staff safety.
As such, customers and visitors are advised that there may be delays in services provided by WAF at any of its premises, and WAF requests your patience in this regard to allow us to effectively
serve you.
Customers are also encouraged to take advantage of the online services WAF has to offer in addition to our 24/7 call center.
