Turbidity issues affect water supply at CWM Hospital, people fed up of turbidity to be used as a reason all the time

Turbidity issues affect water supply at CWM Hospital, people fed up of turbidity to be used as a reason all the time

Water issues due to turbidity and low pressure plaguing the Suva area have now escalated to the point where it is affecting patients at the CWM Hospital.

People are raising concerns that the turbidity issue has been used for years, and are asking what is being done to fix this, and when will the water woes end.

Many residents have contacted us from Tamavua, Tacirua and Samabula areas, saying they are fed up of these excuses, and when will a solution be found.

WAF says the heavy rain experienced over the last couple of days have affected fresh water production at the Treatment Plants due to turbidity issues, which is resulting in low water pressure as well.

Some people say this is a very dangerous trend now at the hospital as it is affecting not just hygiene issues at the hospital but also surgeries that have to be put on hold because of the lack of water.
