Water woes continue to plague residents living in the greater Central Division as the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) announced disruptions to supply from two days ago.

In an update on its Facebook page, WAF stated heavy rain on Saturday led to flooding at the Savura raw water intake, which disrupted water flow to the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant.

Additionally, the Waimanu Raw Water Pump Station faced challenges with high turbidity due to silts and debris, and caused blockages to intake pumps.

As a result, water production was reduced.

It has asked all customers to conserve water, store it, and consider rainwater harvesting as an alternative source.

No timeline has been given on when supply is expected to normalise.
