Members of the public, especially those in the Central Division, are advised to store sufficient amounts of water as low flows are being experienced at the Waimanu and Waila raw water intakes.
The Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) says this is causing a reduction of production levels and is causing low levels to the reservoirs.
“Our teams have also identified air locks within the water supply systems and are working to eliminate it by progressively conducting flushing works,” WAF stated.
