The man who is now responsible for the country’s infrastructure and transport sector which includes the road network, water supply system and electricity supply is now building on his situational awareness to ensure that government services in these areas are enhanced and developed for the people of the country.
Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Pio Tikoduadua confirmed that a lot of work will be done on the water supply systems around the country.
Tikoduadua said water is a basic need and the structure set up by the government should deliver consistent services.
He said he is now focusing on the Water Authority of Fiji and what has to be done to improve and upgrade the services for the people of the country.
Tikoduadua has also promised residents from Delainavesi to Veisari that intermittent water supply will be a thing of the past for them.
He said four booster pumps have been ordered and the long standing problem will be fixed soon as he asked the Water Authority team what is the solution for this.
Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama has already said that a concerted effort is needed to tackle this problem and to make sure that every person’s constitutional right is protected.
This year, the government provided the Water Authority of Fiji with a budget of $129.6 million, an increase of $32 million from last year.
