Levuka Residents to Benefit from New, Reliable Water Supply with Totogo Reservoir Completion

Levuka, Fiji, is set to experience a significant improvement in its water supply with the completion of the new Totogo Reservoir. This project will provide a more reliable and secure water source for around 2,800 residents, businesses, government institutions, and essential services in the town.

The $2.39 million project, funded by the Fijian government and executed by the Water Authority of Fiji, replaces the previous reservoir which had been in operation for over four decades. The old infrastructure had sustained considerable damage during Tropical Cyclone Winston in 2016, highlighting the urgent need for an upgrade.

Minister for Public Works Ro Filipe Tuisawau stated that the reservoir's completion underscores the coalition government's dedication to ensuring safe, dependable, and sustainable drinking water. He also emphasized the government's commitment to modernizing critical infrastructure across the nation.

The Totogo Reservoir is notable as the first steel panel reservoir constructed by the Water Authority of Fiji since the era of the Public Works Department. This achievement signifies a crucial advancement in the development of modern, climate-resilient water infrastructure throughout Fiji.
