Due to continuous heavy rains experienced today, the Savura raw water intake is flooded and blocked, resulting in reduced inflow into the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant, which further impacts service reservoir levels.
The Water Authority of Fiji says the intake at the Waimanu Raw Water Pump Station is experiencing heavy silts and washoff debris contributing to high turbidity, causing blockages to intake pumps, which reduce inflows for water treatment and production at the Tamavua Water Treatment Plant.
Customers are advised to use water sparingly, store water, and harvest rainwater as an alternative.
