Our ground teams are currently at the Nasealevu and Navau Headworks clearing the blockages. WAF has commenced re-design of intakes with a construction solution imminent to reduce the frequency of blockages and increase safety of staff.

The Authority advises customers residing in the areas above to use water wisely and to store water for their immediate needs during this temporary disruption period.
WAF urges all Fijians to practice reliance and at all times to have water stored for at least two days.

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