People are urged to store water as residents in some parts of Suva are experiencing low water pressure to no water due to the reduction in supply at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant. The Water Authority of Fiji says the current weather condition is presenting significant challenges to the Authority’s capability to maintaining raw pumping and treatment due to elevated turbidity levels (dirty water due to heavy rain) and the continuous blocking of pumps by debris.
