People of Bulileka, Labasa have been without tap water from last week.
Resident Jai Sharma said the people of Bulileka are frustrated as they don’t know why they have no water and why water trucks are not supplying water to their area.
Meanwhile, Water Supply Department's Public Relations Officer, Maika Nagalu said the main pipe has burst at Nasealevu, which is the reason for the low level of water at the Benau Treatment Plant.
Nagalu said engineers were working on the pipe and people are expected to get water in the next couple of days. He said at the moment a truck is carting water to residents.
He also said that people were without water for the past six days because engineers were not able to reach the main pipe area to fix the problem due to flooding after heavy rain in Labasa from last week. They had to cross two rivers to reach the location.
