Residents of the Udagewatta Road area in Meegoda say that a major water leak caused by a burst pipeline has been persisting for over a week, leading to considerable water wastage. 

It is reported that the leak is occurring in a pipeline that distributes water from the Labugama–Kalatuwawa reservoir.

Residents further state that, as a result of the leak, several households have been without water for the past few days and that relevant authorities are yet to take any action despite being notified repeatedly.
