Public Advisory – SUVA

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise its customers living in the following areas that water supply will be disrupted until Sunday morning (28/01).

Areas Affected Include;

High Elevated Areas feeding from the Reservoirs

  • Raralevu
  • Wainibuku
  • Nasinu
  • Toorak
  • Flagstaff
  • Tovata
  • Nagatugatu
  • Dokanaisuva
  • Colo-i-Suva

The interruption in supply is a result of an electrical fault at the Waila Water Treatment Plant.

The disruption in supply is as a result of an electrical failure in Waila Water Treatment Plant. The repair work has already been completed and all the pumps are back into operation.

However, the disruption in supply is due to low water levels in clear water reservoirs as a result of reduction in water production during the repair works.

The Authority is kindly advising its customers residing in these areas to store and use water wisely for their immediate needs during the period.

Water carts will be on standby to service the affected areas as and when the need arises.

Supply is expected to be gradually restored from tonight up to Sunday morning (28/01/2018).

We apologise for any inconvenience that this disruption may cause.

For further enquiries, customers can call 3346777 and 5777 (Vodafone, Digicel & Inkk users) or email contact@waf.com.fj
