Public Advisory – Labasa

Due to blockages along the raw water mains at Nasealevu in Labasa our customers living in parts of Labasa and nearby areas will be experiencing a disruption to their water supply.

We urge customers to store adequate amounts of water while it is avaiable to sustain them for the next few days.

The blocked dam screen is suspected to be a result of a landslide upstream and was confirmed by our teams after observing silt filling up the dam, earlier this morning.
