People in Lami, Samabula, Tamavua and Delanivesi to be without water from tomorrow until further notice

If you are living in the elevated areas of Lami, Namadi Heights, elevated areas along Princes Road, Samabula along and along Rewa Street then start storing water today as the Water Authority of Fiji says you will experience no water supply from tomorrow morning until further notice.

WAF says due to a substantial increase in silt levels at the Waimanu Pump Station because of the recent heavy rain, it is unsafe to run all water pumps.

They say they will be carrying out essential desilting works tomorrow to fix this issue.
