The ongoing sewage spill from the manhole at the back entrance of a supermarket at Laucala Beach has been caused by a severe collapse of the pipeline, with the Water Authority of Fiji currently carrying out the necessary preparatory works to address the issue.
This has been confirmed to fijivillage News by the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Environment, Dr Sivendra Michael.
This is after the issue was raised by fijivillage to the relevant authorities.
Dr Michael says the entire pipeline has collapsed and will require complete replacement.
Concerned members of the public have shared videos and photos of the sewage leak, which worsened today, raising concerns about discomfort and potential health risks associated with the spill.
