The water woes faced by more than 350 Fijians living in Bilo Settlement, an informal settlement outside Lami Town, will soon be a problem of the past.

This was after the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) personnel visited the settlement yesterday for a walk through of the soon-to-be implemented Bilo Water Pipeline Extension project. Residents of the area had poor sanitation facilities because of the lack of proper water supply to the area for many years.

WAF's chief executive officer, Amit Chanan, said the project costs approximately $1.7million, with works to start this month.
