The current hot and humid weather is also contributing to an increase in demand for water supply.

All water treatment plants were operating at maximum capacity at these times with no major faults to have caused this significant drawdown. Meanwhile, our teams are working on valve operations to sustain water levels to restore supply to the ends of the system.

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

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