WAF Manager Service Delivery, North, Samuela Rokovaleusa, confirmed that the raw water supply was restored to the treatment plant at Benau.

However, a few elevated areas of Siberia, including Vunivau, Rara, Navakasigani, Yaudigi, Kulukulu, Solove, Bocalevu, Basoga, Soasoa, Vunika, and Batinikama, may still face no water supply due to the usage by those in the lower areas.

Rokovaleusa says all elevated areas will be supplied with water via tankers today.
