Hundreds of people in the wider Suva area can expect water disruption from this morning.

The Water Authority of Fiji says one pump out of the three pumps at the Savura raw water pump station, which supplies raw water to the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant, has encountered a mechanical issue.

It says as a result, raw water inflow to the plant has been reduced, leading to decreased production and lower reservoir levels.

WAF says due to this, customers in elevated areas within the Tamavua system may experience low water pressure or intermittent supply throughout the day.

It says their technical teams are working urgently to repair the pumps, and they anticipate the restoration of the pumps by 5pm today.

The Water Authority of Fiji adds says once repairs are complete, we will focus on recovering production and replenishing reservoir levels to restore normal supply.

Water carting services will be provided for impacted customers.
