Colo‑i‑Suva land release to improve water services for greater Suva

A portion of the Colo-i-Suva Forestry Reserve lease has been surrendered to allow for the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) to upgrade its existing infrastructure.

In a Fiji Government statement, Cabinet endorsed the surrender of a portion of the Colo-i-Suva Forestry Reserve lease.

"WAF is undertaking a major infrastructure upgrade in the Sawani to Colo-i-Suva corridor, aimed at improving and increasing water service delivery capacity for areas between Sawani and Tacirua.

"As part of this project, WAF will utilise a portion of the forest reserve adjacent to their existing reservoir in Colo-i-Suva to extend infrastructure."

The surrendered land is located next to WAF’s existing reservoir, where the infrastructure expansion will take place.
