The Water Authority of Fiji had anticipated some level of population growth, evident with the marked demand on the present water supply system.
And it says it is addressing this growth with its $270million Rewa Water Supply Project, which would provide much-needed water, with a capacity to supply an additional 40million litres of water a day to the greater Suva area.
WAF chief executive officer Barry Omundson said they had already commenced works on the project, and it had begun the construction of a new water intake, treatment plant and associated pipelines to come into effect by the third quarter of 2022.
