It has now been confirmed by the Water Authority of Fiji that a burst main which was caused by old water pipes resulted in water disruptions across parts of Lautoka yesterday.
Areas that were affected include Thomson Cresent, Natokowaqa, Sugar Avenue, Drasa Avenue, Simla and parts of the Lautoka City area.
The Water Authority of Fiji had said that it is fully aware that the old water pipes which have been in Fiji for a very long time are not able to cater for high water pressure.
We will have more on old water pipes and burst mains later today.
