Wainibuku Restoration Morning Update

Wainibuku Restoration Morning Update 4/5/21

#WATCH as our Chief Operating Officer, Seru Soderberg provides an update on the repair and restoration works being done to the dislocated pipe section of the inlet to the Wainibuku Reservoir as a result of a major landslide on Sunday night (02/05/21), due to the heavy rains over the weekend.

Although water is being progressively restored, repairs and recovery are still ongoing and will continue, with timeframe being dependent on the weather and safety concerns from both COVID-19 and the on-site hazards of a major landslide.

We kindly ask customers in the greater Suva area to help us, and other customers, by using water sparingly during this time so as not to strain the system, since it is still operating at a reduced capacity.

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

For further enquiries, customers can call 3346777 or toll-free short code 5777 (all mobile networks) or email contact@waf.com.fj
