Public Advisory – SUVA

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise its customers living within the elevated areas of Flagstaff will be experiencing low water pressure to no water from today 16th March, 2018 until Sunday evening 18th March, 2018.                     

The low-pressure situation in water supply is as a result of an electrical failure in Waila Water Treatment Plant causing tripping of three clear water pumps.

The repair has been completed and the Treatment Plant is back in normal operation.

However, the supply is affected due to low water levels in our clear water reservoirs as a result of the reduction of water production during the shutdown period as well as due to the high consumption pattern associated with current weather.

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

The Authority highly regrets any inconvenience caused to its customers.

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