Thousands of people living in the larger parts of Labasa are currently experiencing low water pressure to intermittent supply.

Water supply is expected to be restored at 7pm today.

Areas affected include Vunivau, Basoga, Soasoa, Bulileka, Batinikama, Siberia, parts of Vunika, and Bocalevu.

Water Authority of Fiji has confirmed the interruption in supply is due to a burst main at Nasealevu.

It says crew members are working to conduct repairs.

Water carting trucks have been deployed to service the affected areas.
