The grace period on paying water bills as part of Water Authority of Fiji’s assistance to COVID-19 affected Fijians, ends on the 31st of this month.

The Authority has thanked everyone who have been clearing their bills and not letting it build up as per their regular advice during this grace period.

They say at less than 1 cent per litre, Fiji has one of the lowest rates in the South Pacific region and the world, however it is important to bear in mind that the treatment of water is an expensive process.

Fijians who earn below $30,000 a year, and are currently under government subsidy for free water, were not greatly affected by the grace period.

The Water Authority of Fiji say a grace period for water payments was given because they did not want Fijians to be disconnected from water services during a time when there was a lot of confusion and fear.

All residential customers will need to clear at least 50 per cent of their outstanding payments by 30th April 2021 and enter into a payment plan that ensures full outstanding accounts are paid by 31st December 2021.

All current bills from 1st April 2021 must be paid in full by their due dates.

All commercial customers and institutions will need to clear all outstanding payments by 31st March 2021.
