Thousands of people living in parts of Lautoka are experiencing low water pressure to no water from today.

The Water Authority of Fiji has confirmed that the interruption in water supply is due to blocked intake from the heavy rain last night causing no inflow into to Nalau and Buabua reservoirs.

The WAF diving team is currently clearing debris that is causing the blockage.

Areas affected include Matawalu, Teidamu, Johnson, Drasa, Vitogo, Paiapi, Naviago, Drasa Dam Road, Qalitu, Lovu, Vatamai, Buabua, Naikabula, Koroipita, Lovu hart and Lovu sea side
