More water cuts again for thousands of residents in Tamavua, Samabula and Lami.

The Water Authority of Fiji says due to the heavy rain experienced this afternoon, the Savura raw water intake is flooded and blocked resulting in a reduced inflow into the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant from 75 million litres a day to 40 million litres a day, which further impacts service reservoir levels.

People are advised to store water and also harvest rainwater as an alternative.

The affected areas : Low Pressure to No Water - all feeding from Tamavua Reservoir, Namadi Heights, Princes Road, Samabula area, Bureta Street, Rewa Street, Ratu Sukuna Road, Nailuva Road, Delainavesi, elevated areas in Lami, Panaromic, Waiqanake and Togalevu, Wrong Turn, Sakoca, Upper Khalsa, Tacirua Heights, Nagatugatu residents next to the Reservoir, Tamavua Koro, Upper Ragg Avenue, Deovji Street, Tacirua Bus, Amputch Street, as well as people along Princes Road, Seventh Day Church Dokanaisuva to Tacirua Fijian School, Vunuleba Settlement, Naisogo, Colo-i-Suva Crest Chicken, Princes Road, Marshall Road, Taqairua, Vunikawai, Uluibeka, Colanaivau, Valesasa, Naitaqiri Nillgrey.

WAF divers will dive as soon as it is safe to clear blockages.
