PUBLIC ADVISORY – UNPLANNED WATER DISRUPTION NOTICE NADI

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise its customers in the following parts of Nadi that they will be experiencing low water pressure to intermittent supply at times during the night from 9pm to 4am daily from this evening, Thursday (05/12) until Wednesday (18/12).

Affected Areas Include:

  • Lavusa
  • Togomasi
  • Uciwai
  • Yako Hill Side
  • Kakala
  • Waqadra
  • Bountifull
  • Neelfield
  • Savunawai
  • Parts of Legalega

The interruption in supply is a result of planned operations on the five (5) supply off-takes to above mentioned areas connected from DN500 and DN300 bulk supply trunk mains to Nadi, to recover water pressures on the trunk mains and water levels at the Nagado Water Treatment Plant clear water reservoir, during the off peak hours. This will allow WAF to re-fill the Nagado reservoir to its maximum levels which had depleted in the last couple of weeks as a result of below-average rainfall at the Vaturu Dam.  The Authority is kindly advising its customers residing in the areas above to store and use water sparingly for their immediate needs during the temporary disruption period. 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
