Residents in Tuirara, Upper Makoi, Tovata, Caubati, Naveiwakau, Cunnigham, Tacirua East, Upper Caubati, New Town and along Princes Road will have to wait a little longer as the Water Supply department has encountered further problems in their pump repair works.
The $15 000 repair work to the Wainibuku Reservoir where their main pump motor blew up on Sunday night due to an short-circuiting is taking longer than they had thought and adds that water will normalise around tomorrow afternoon.

However, water trucks will only service Tuirara, Upper Makoi and Tovata.
Also, the residents living around Ratu Sukuna waste district have been asked to store sufficient water as there will be water disruptions from 10 tonight due to Leak Detection Exercises.
