The water supply is expected to be fully functional by this evening says Tonga Water Board (TWB) Acting CEO, Kolopeaua Tonga, after Cyclone Gita destroyed the water pump shed located at Mata-ki-‘Eua on Togatapu.
Currently, 24 water pumps are working out of a total of 40 pumps and TWB workers are also inspecting water pipes around Nuku’alofa for leakages.
During the storm, only two of the water diesel pumps were working. Yesterday, 12 water pumps were fixed.
Tonga Water Board is urging the public to please call 24 438, 23 095, 874 91 or 779 5646 to report any water problems so they can quickly attend to it.
