He says in Ba, about 90 percent of the water supply has been reinstated, with teams working to achieve full restoration in the remaining areas.
Rabuka says electricity supply has improved in several areas, in Nadi power has been fully restored.
In Ba, electricity has been restored to the central business district and most residential areas.
