Reservoir levels are healthy, supply disruption to thousands mitigated - WAF

The Water Authority of Fiji says turbidity issues causing critical water levels at their Flagstaff, Nagatugatu, Tacirua, Dokanaisuva, and Colo-i-Suva Reservoirs has been resolved and water supply has been normalised.

WAF Chief Operating Officer, Seru Soderberg says the earlier advisory was put out for customers to store water in case the reservoirs reach critical operating levels that would have caused no water supply.

He says their teams worked quickly to identify issues and put out relevant notices as soon as possible, so their customers can prepare accordingly.

Soderberg says some customers in elevated areas faced intermittent and low-pressure supply yesterday however as as the turbidity issues were resolved, reservoir levels were built up throughout the day yesterday.

He says this enabled the mitigation of a possible major disruption that would have affected a lot of their customers.
