Planned Water Disruption Advisory – Tacirua East (New Subdivision)

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to inform customers that our teams will be undertaking testing of the new 3 million litres treated water reservoir along Tacirua East Road, off Khalsa Road in Nasinu.

This test will consist of the activation of the Reservoir today (27/11) from 10 am onwards. This is part of WAF’s on-going efforts in improving water supply, which will address intermittent supply issues.

Customers in the following areas are advised that they may experience minor disruption to normal supply during the testing window.

Affected areas:

• Tacirua East Road

• Niubalavu Road

• Qakilo Road

• Niuvasa Road

• Niudamu Road

• Niubasoga Road

• Walai Crescent

• Qanibilo Road

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

Customers are urged to call WAF on 5777 when their supply is affected during this period as the Authority will need this data in order to reset the feedzone, if needed.

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