Members of the public living along the Suva to Nausori corridor are advised to store water for this upcoming weekend as the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) will be having planned works from this Friday to Sunday which will result in temporary water disruptions.

WAF says ongoing assessment of the worksite revealed additional risks that needed to be addressed first before any work started on site to ensure the safety of the workers and these risks have the potential to delay the work if not mitigated ahead of time.

They say because of this situation, WAF is advising customers to take this opportunity to prepare adequately by storing sufficient amounts of water to sustain them during the planned water shutdown.

WAF says the planned works will allow essential connection works to the new DN900mm Gravity Main from the Waitolu Reservoir to the existing DN600mm DICL Rising Main from the Waila Water Treatment Plant which supplies the Wainibuku Reservoir.
