LAUTOKA residents staying near the Waiyavi waterfall have been informed to report anyone littering in the area.

The waterfall poses a health risk for swimmers as it is being used as a dumping ground for people and businesses who dispose their rubbish illegally.

Lautoka City Council’s head of services Shalend Singh told this newspaper yesterday a truck was caught red handed last week disposing off rubbish.

“It is a bit challenging as people dump at odd hours,” he said.

“Previously we fined a few as and when they were caught.

“We have asked neighbouring houses to report if they see anyone littering.”
