The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) wishes to advise its customers from Votualevu to the Namaka Central Business District (CBD) as well as the Denarau Island corridor that they will be experiencing low water pressure and intermittent water supply at times from 2 pm Friday 29 December until 6 am Sunday 30 December 2023.

Affected areas include:
Naboutini Back Road, Legalega, Voivoi, Sabeto, Nasoso, Naisoso Island, Martintar, Kennedy, Wailoaloa, Fantasy Island, Denarau Island, Nadi Town, Nakurakura, Nadi Hospital, Lolobalavu elevated area, Namotomoto Village, Narewa Village, Navoci Village, Nakavu Village and Saunaka Village.

The interruption in the water supply is to allow WAF to undertake urgent repairs and replacement works on the defective reservoir outlet valve at the Blackrock Reservoir which supplies clean treated water to customers from Votualevu to the Namaka Central Business District (CBD) as well as the Denarau Island corridor.

WAF reiterates that the anticipated valve replacement and repair works are critical, hence it needs to be prioritised for replacement to maintain consistent water supply to its customers and avoid any unforeseen major water disruption.

Therefore, WAF kindly advises its customers residing in the areas above to store and use water wisely for their immediate needs during this temporary disruption period.

WAF will ensure that during the shutdown period, there will be no major interruption in major services such as hospitals, airport and businesses as water tankers will be deployed to cart water to affected customers.

For water tanker requests, members of the public are to contact WAF’s National Call Centre at 3346777 or short code 5777.

WAF highly regrets any inconvenience caused to its customers.
