One hundred and sixty-eight villagers of Natadradave Village in Dawasamu, Tailevu, now have access to piped drinking water.

The Rural Water Project which cost over $212, 000 included the construction of a new dam and a 10,000 gallon water tank.

The project has improved conditions for the villagers, as over the years, they’ve been experiencing intermittent water supply.

The villagers, at times also travelled to Vorovoro Village, approximately one kilometer away to fetch water.

Water Authority Chief Operating Officer, Samanmal Ekanayake, says the people of Natadradave assisted the WAF crew members in undertaking the project.
