Water Authority of Fiji Engineers has managed to increase pressure that has allowed them to resume its schedule of alternate water delivery that was disrupted on Friday night due to a significant drop in water level at the catchment area.
CEO Opetaia Ravai, said 65% of the 25,000 people from 5,100 homes in selected areas in Suva are now receiving water through their taps.
Ravai said carted water is being delivered to the remaining 35% over the same period.
Those households designated for alternate water delivery are the Lami/Delainavesi and Veisari/Togalevu areas.
He said that on the days that they do not receive water from the taps they would receive water from water carting.
Ravai added that because of the effect the drought is having on the water supply, it has made it difficult to predict how long tap water in these areas will last.
