Villagers of Tavulomo to benefit from repaired borehole

More than 180 people of Tavulomo Village in Bua will now benefit from consistent water supply after the repairing of a borehole in their village.

The solar pump was damaged in April this year and since then, the people relied on the limited and restricted water supply from the neighbouring village in the district.

In November, the villagers with support from the Watershed Interventions for Systems Health in Fiji, Fiji’s Mineral Resources Department, the Bua Provincial Administrator’s Office, Bua Provincial Council Office and village-level Water and Sanitation Committee, repaired their broken solar pump and restored their primary source of water.

Village Headman Kelemedi Bitu said during this period, the village experienced inadequate supply of water which affected them daily.

Wildlife Conservation Society WISH Fiji Project Manager, Dr. Andrew Tukana says the rehabilitation effort was part of the project to work with local communities and relevant government authorities to implement ecological, water and waste management interventions.

Dr Tukana added the expert staff from the Mineral Resource Department cleaned the borehole by flushing out the sediment, stagnant water and debris before repairing the pump.
