The Water Authority of Fiji says that heavy rainfall affecting water sources and raw water pump stations has caused reduced raw water inflow.
Additionally, the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant is facing production challenges due to increased turbidity levels.
As a result, the plant’s raw water inflow has been reduced to 85 percent of normal production capacity, leading to lower production and decreased reservoir levels.
WAF says that people in elevated areas within the Tamavua system may experience low water pressure from this afternoon.
WAF says that water carting services will be provided to impacted customers.
It adds that that they are working to restore the water supply.
