A 12-hour water cut has been announced for Colombo and several surrounding areas from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. tomorrow (04).
Accordingly, water supply will be suspended in Colombo 01 to Colombo 15, as well as Battaramulla, Pelawatta, Hokandara, Koswatta, Thalawathugoda, Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, Rajagiriya, Mirihana, Madiwela, Nugegoda, Nawala, Kolonnawa, IDH, Kotikawatta, Angoda, Wellampitiya, Orugodawatta, Kaduwela, Maharagama, Boralesgamuwa and Piliyandala.
The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) attributed the water cut to the temporary suspension of power supply to the Ambatale Water Treatment Plant to facilitate essential maintenance work at the Mulleriyawa Grid Substation.
Additionally, electrical system upgrade work will also be carried out at the Dehiwala Water Pumping Station and the Maligawatte Elie House Pumping Station tomorrow.
The NWSDB has urged residents in the affected areas to store an adequate supply of water in advance to meet the needs during the scheduled interruption.
