Media Release – WAF Attends To Vatuyalewa Pump Station

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) has attended to the Vatuyalewa Pump Station in Nasinu, which had begun leaking, late last week.

Upon investigation it was found that the leak was caused by a faulty float switch and repairs have been carried out to resolve the issue. This includes reinstatement works to fix damage to the adjoining road surface caused by water overflow.

We apologise for any inconvenience in the interim and thank residents for their patience and understanding.

For further enquiries, please call 334 6777, short code 5777 (all networks), or email contact@waf.com.fj
