WAF RESTORATION UPDATE – LAUTOKA REPAIR WORKS COMPLETED

We refer to our advisory previously regarding repair works at the Phluggers Lautoka Reservoir.

The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our customers that our team have managed to repair the leakages and normalize the supply to the reservoir. The reservoir is currently being filled up to its maximum level and supply restoration is simultaneously being done.

Water supply to the affected customers is expected to be gradually restored between 5.00-8.00pm today.

Water supply should normalise to customers living in the following areas:

📍 Thomson
📍 Vitogo
📍 Yawini
📍 Vakabale
📍 Valetia
📍 Loma
📍 Yasawa
📍 Veitari
📍 Tavewa

If water supply has not been normalised in your area yet, you can make a request for water carting trucks by calling 5777 (all mobile networks).

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and we seek your patience and understanding as we work around the clock to restore water disruptions.

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