The CEO of Fiji 's Water Authority says residents along the Suva to Nausori corridor may get restricted access to water if more sources are not added to the system.
Fiji Village online said Opetaia Ravai was looking at solutions needed to meet the increased demand for water supply.
Mr Ravai said people along the Suva Nausori corridor might be restricted to water two hours a day or two days a week, if the authority does not have additional water sources within five years.
He made the statement during a Public Accounts Committee meeting.
Mr Ravai said if the Rewa and Viria rivers are not secured as water sources there would be serious issues.
The Water Authority had presented a report on the problem to the government and the Asian Development Bank in the hope they may fund a project to use the rivers.
Mr Ravai said the population growth along the affected area is at an alarming rate and supply cannot meet demand.
