Some parts of Suva and nearby areas still without water supply while others receive intermittent supply

Residents of Qauia in Lami are concerned about intermittent water supply since November.

A concerned resident says water cuts happen everyday mostly in the afternoons and at night.

He adds they have contacted the Water Authority of Fiji but the response is always there is low levels at the reservoir.

A Wailoku resident says they are experiencing low water pressure most of the times.

The resident says they have contacted WAF but the response has always been the same.

Another resident says they were getting intermittent supply until last Thursday and their supply got affected at around 8.30 every night and water would then come on the next morning.

Rajesh Kumar of Bureta Street, Samabula says they have had no water supply since 7am yesterday and water carting trucks visited the area at around 7.30pm when calls were made.

Kumar says this has been an ongoing issue in the area from last year and it is very concerning.

He adds they have had to buy drinking water and while some people can afford this, others who are not working are finding it really difficult.

Another resident who lives in Nayau Street says they had no water supply from 11am yesterday.

He says they are now experiencing intermittent water supply.

Stay with us as we will speak to the Minister for Infrastructure, Jone Usamate on this continuing problem and whether any immediate solutions are being planned to ensure people do not continue to face this.
