Public Advisory – Unplanned Water Disruption Notice

As a result, our customers in the following areas will be experiencing a disruption in their water supply from now until further notice.

Affected Areas:

Lami Areas
Nailuva
Princess Road
Rewa Street
Dokanaisuva
Colo-I-Suva
Sakoca

Other nearby areas

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