Over 400 people in the village of Nasautoka now receive safe and piped water supply in their homes after 40 years.
The 70 households in the village situated in Wainibuka, Tailevu have greeted the recent water supply system upgrades with renewed confidence as the burden of having water problems have now ceased.
The water supply system upgrade was made possible through the Water Authority of Fiji’s rural water supply scheme.
The total cost of the project was $44,300 and was completed in two months.
The Water Authority said that the growing population and increase in water‑intensive lifestyles are two main reasons why they are carrying out water development projects.
