Viria Water Treatment Plant to go online from next week

Good news for more than 360,000 Fijians living in the Suva-Nausori corridor as the Water Authority of Fiji has confirmed that it has reached the final phase to complete their major construction of their new Viria Water Treatment Plant, and it will go online next week.

The Water Authority has confirmed this to fijivillage News after questions were raised about the completion of the project that was aimed to be opened this month.

CEO of the Water Authority of Fiji, Dr Amit Chanan was briefed on the testing works and noted that the major construction works have been completed in line with the target date for Fiji Day 2023.

The WAF team and contractors are now undertaking phased testing of plant components, pumps and reservoirs to ensure full compliance with its design.

The project will soon be ready to deliver water to Fijians in the Suva-Nausori and Tailevu corridor.

This is expected to alleviate the water problems faced by thousands of people living between Suva to Nausori.
