I write to express my deep concern regarding potholes on our roads, particularly at Varadoli in Ba.
There was a burst water main in front of the A.D. Patel College, in Ba. Staff from the Water Authority of Fiji (WAF) attended to it and repaired it by digging a trench across the tar sealed road, and later filled up the trench with gravel.
It has been almost five months now and the portion has not been re-sealed by Fiji Roads Authority (FRA).
The initial trench was about a square metre.
The pothole has doubled in size since, and today about 10 metres of tar sealed road is left in ruins.
What I want to know is, if there were arrangements or communications made between WAF and FRA when roads are dug up to repair watermains.
And how soon will these dug-up trenches be re-sealed for public use?
Now, we are experiencing heavy rainfall, and the road condition will get worse.
Plus, the new school year is just around the corner.
My humble plea to the authorities concerned, please get the road fixed at the earliest.
