EMERGENCY BURST SEWER MAIN ALONG DENARAU ISLAND ROAD

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our valued customers that a wastewater main along Denarau Island Road, from Regent Wastewater Pump Station to Navakai Wastewater Treatment Plant, has burst.

The site of the burst has been cordoned off and our technical teams are awaiting clearance from EFL and TFL teams before repair works can commence, as high voltage EFL cables and underground TFL cables are suspected to be running parallel with the water and wastewater pipes.

In the meantime, bailing trucks have been engaged to bail out the wastewater from the Regent wastewater pump station to minimise the leakages and wastewater spillage on the road.

Members of the public are kindly advised to exercise extreme caution while travelling along this road.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your understanding and patience until such time that the repair works have been completed.

For further enquiries, customers can call 3346777 or short code 5777 (all mobile networks) or email contact@waf.com.fj
