Pending for too long

IT’S been a few months now since the new sealing on the section of Andrews Rd in front of my residential dwelling was ripped off to allow for a new drain to be created to mitigate the problem of water stagnation.

I think the road was to have been dug only when work was ready to be commenced and not before that.

By ripping off the seal, you have left the residents of the area in a terrible situation in which they have to bear with dust and other associated problems like flying chips et cetera, 24/7.

This is not how professional firms deliver the service. At this juncture, I would like to pose a question to FRA, when will the pending work get attended to? Thank you. SURESH CHAND

High pressure, power outage

RECENTLY, I noticed cases of utilities damaging our property.

Twice now extreme high water pressure has caused broken water pipes.

Just recently, there was no water at Martintar then suddenly in the middle of the night my tenant heard a joint in water pipe feeding the water tank burst open. The pressure was so high that the joint holding both ends of the pipe split open.

This also happened to my water tank sometime ago. The water pressure was so high that the PVC pipe feeding the tank burst open with water gushing out everywhere.

It seems that the Water Authority of Fiji is having a hard time maintaining a normal water pressure.

Energy Fiji Ltd is no different.

Just yesterday there was a brief power failure. When power was restored, a high surge killed my WIFI modem.

I had to spend $110 for a new one and had to spend over an hour for TFL sales people to set it up.

My friend nearby also rang me to ask why is the lights in his house flickering? He was using LED Light throughout.

Maybe the power surge had damaged his lights as well.

I had to buy surge protectors for my equipment.

Perhaps I should send my bill for the replacement
