The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) would like to advise our customers that there is a rupture on the Waimanu Raw Water Rising Main due to unplanned power fluctuations at the station, and it will be shut down in order to allow our technical team to safely access and excavate the site to assess and determine the extent of the damage prior to carrying out repairs.
As these two pumps and main contribute to over 40% of the flow into the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant, production at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant will be affected significantly. Production has been reduced from 75MLD to 53MLD.
In preparation for this, customers in the areas listed below are kindly advised to store in their homes, while it is still available, sufficient amounts of water to last them for at least 2 to 3 days and are requested to use water wisely during this time.
Affected areas:
– From Tamavua-I-Wai Bridge through to Togalevu Naval along the Queens Road including all Site Streets
