Four hundred villagers of Tukavesi, Natewa in Cakaudrove, Vanua Levu now have access to piped drinking water after the completion of their Rural Water Project.

The previous system, which was constructed in 2008, experienced major leakages in the piping network and a complete replacement of the reticulation in the village.

Water Authority of Fiji Chief Operating Officer, Samanmal Ekanayake says that the $176,046 project that has been implemented empowers the community adding that the villagers can now enjoy a consistent supply of water and an improved water system performance, which is reliable, and a water source, which can withstand dry seasons.

Former Tukavesi Village Headman, Aisake Leqeua says that before this project happened they rarely had water in their taps and this is now a thing of the past.

She adds that they are also overjoyed that water is now available at every doorstep in their village.
