Water levels at the Waimanu River and Tamavua Water Treatment Plant are at critical level.

Water Authority of Fiji Acting General Manager Operations Sekove Uluinayau says this is due to the lack of rain.

He says their divers have been deployed to attend and clear suspected blockages in the pump water wells at the Waimanu Water Pumping Station, in Sawani.

Uluinayau says the teams are working around the clock to get water supply normalized to customers facing low pressure or intermittent supply due to low rainfall.

WAF is urging Fijians to conserve water.

Affected areas include the elevated parts of Princess Road -Tamavua to Colo-I-Suva, Namadi Heights, Wairua, Wailoku, Samabula, Rewa Street, Waimanu Road, and Ratu Sukuna Road as well as elevated areas within Wairua, Wailoku, Delainavesi, Qauia Street to Veisari.
