"Some roads have reopened in flood affected parts in the Western Division as water levels continue to slowly recede," it said.

"The FRA is closely monitoring the situation of the roads and we are urging the public to remain vigilant, tune into the local radio and listen to the advice of the emergency services."

The Water Authority of Fiji said on its website that floodwaters had damaged pipelines and pump stations, and there had been unplanned power disruptions.

The Fiji Electricity Authority told the Fiji Sun that people in the Ba district were without power.

Power was yet to be restored to just under half of the customers in the Sigatoka district , 20 per cent of the customers in the Nadi district, and 10 per cent of the customers in the Lautoka district, it said. Power has been restored to Rakiraki town and its surrounds using a diesel power station. The Fiji Electricity Authority is working to restore power to all affected areas, and recommends the public stay away from power lines.
