Public Advisory – Planned Water Disruption Notice

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our customers living in the areas below, that they will be facing low pressure to no water supply from 10 pm to 4 am daily (starting tonight, 14/5/21) until further notice.

This is to allow our operations team to fill up our Kalekana reservoir while there are healthy water levels. Once filled up to capacity, this will ensure we have water on reserve, improving our supply capability.

We kindly ask customers to prepare accordingly and store water for use during this time.

Areas affected are:

  • Areas in Veisari
  • Villages towards Waiqanake
  • Areas along Wailekutu to Naval base on the Queens Highway

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your understanding and patience until such time supplies normalise.

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