The Water Authority of Fiji urges members of the public living along the Lami-Suva-Nausori corridor to take the necessary steps to conserve water and practice water conservation in their homes and workplaces.

This was after water restrictions were put in place for people living along the mentioned areas due to the low water level at the Waimanu River.

The restrictions were effective immediately as of yesterday, water usage for car washing, watering of plants and gardens, irrigation of new turf, topping up of swimming pools, and washing of hard surfaces like driveways and footpaths is prohibited during this dry spell.

They are also urging people to please make use of the water carts provided by the WAF to fill up and store water as there is no time frame given as to when the flow of water will normalize again.

They say water pressure is still low until water is healthy to be consumed but at the moment, it is slowly starting to pick up.

They also say, in some places, it has started to slowly receive water normally but the pressure is fluctuating at some other places while people living on higher grounds are still having trouble receiving normal water pressure.
