People are urged to store water as residents in some parts of Suva are experiencing low water pressure to no water due to the reduction in supply at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant.
The Water Authority of Fiji is advising that the Savura Raw Water Intake is currently blocked and as a result, raw water inflow into the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant has been reduced affecting water supply production.
The areas affected are Namadi Heights, Princes Road, Upper Samabula, Bureta Street, Rewa Street, Ratu Sukuna Road, Nailuva, Delainavesi, high elevated Lami areas, Panoramic, Waiqanake, Togalevu, Wrong Turn, Sakoca, Upper Khalsa, Tacirua Heights, Nagatugatu, Tamavua Koro, Upper Ragg Avenue, Deovji Street, Tacirua, Amputch Street, Seventh Day Church Dokanaisuva to Tacirua Fijian School, Vunuleba Settlement, Naisogo, Colo-i-Suva Crest Chicken, Marshall Road, Vunikawai, Uluibeka, Colanaivau, Valesasa and Naitaqiri Nillgrey.
WAF says the intake blockage occurred around midnight last night.
They say their divers are yet to get the opportunity to safely access the blocked intake due to flooding and strong currents.
WAF also says their divers are on standby and will dive to clear the blockage and restore inflow into Tamavua as soon as flood levels recede and strong currents wane.
