Education Officers in the Western Division have been instructed to keep monitoring the water disruptions in schools at affected areas in Nadi.
Permanent Secretary for Education Iowane Tiko says principals are allowed to close down schools if water disruptions go on for long hours.
A total of 8,767 households, schools and businesses are affected by the water disruption in Nadi which is caused by the high level algae flowing into Nagado Treatment Plant from its source, the Vaturu Dam.
Tiko says schools that did not have any other source of water supply were given water tanks when the disruptions started in Nadi.
Residents of Nadi that are currently experiencing water disruptions will be facing the same problem for about seven weeks.
