Progress to the planned water works for the connection of Viria Water Supply to the Waila Water Treatment Plant system has progressed as per the plan.

WAF Chief Operating Officer Seru Soderberg says connection and assembling works, which involved cutting and welding began early this morning and that contractors with WAF teams have completed the required connection works at the site, with anchoring works to commence tonight.

Soderberg says the anchoring process will take some time for curing overnight, and with the rate of progress so far, they are planning to begin flushing works, bleeding works, refilling of reservoirs, as well as restoration from tomorrow morning.

He says they would like to thank their valued customers for their understanding and patience and for taking heed of the advisories of storing water for this weekend.

The WAF COO says water carting trucks continue to be on standby to assist when needed.

He says once again, they apologise for any inconvenience and thank their customers for their patience and understanding.
