Water woes continue for thousands of people in the Lami-Suva-Nausori corridor

The water woes continue for thousands of people living along the Lami-Suva-Nausori corridor as many people have had no water at all for almost a week while others are depending on water carts.

Some residents have raised concerns that they have not had water supplies for the past two weeks while some say they have been facing water issues for 3 consecutive weeks now and most days don't even receive a bucket of water.

Meanwhile, when contacted by fijivillage News, the Water Authority of Fiji says they are providing water carts to deliver water to the affected areas while in some squatter settlements where water trucks cannot reach due to less road access, the residents are urged to fill water from the places where water carts are provided.

WAF has also issued restrictions, prohibiting members of the public in the Lami-Suva-Nausori corridor to avoid 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.

Members of the public living in the Lami-Suva-Nausori corridor who need water carting assistance are to contact the Water Authority of Fiji at 334 6777 or short code 5777 for water carting relief.
