Thousands of people living in some areas in Lami, Suva, Nasinu and Nausori will experience disruptions to their water supply from now until further notice.
The Water Authority of Fiji says this is due to the Wainibuku, Tovata, Kalabu, Tamavua, Nagatugatu, Dokanaisuva and Colo-i-Suva reservoirs experiencing low production levels due to high turbidity levels.
Turbidity is the amount of cloudiness in the water.
