The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has stated that water supply interruptions will continue in several areas of the Colombo District today (April 3) due to reduced reservoir levels caused by prevailing dry weather.
According to a statement issued yesterday (02), areas including Padukka, Homagama, Palanwatta, and Pannipitiya will experience water cuts, as these areas depend on supplies from the Kalatuwawa Reservoir and Labugama Reservoir.
The water suspension in Padukka began at 8:00 p.m. yesterday and is scheduled to continue until 8:00 p.m. today (April 3). Meanwhile, a 24-hour water cut will be imposed in Homagama from 8:00 p.m. today until 8:00 p.m. tomorrow (April 4).
Subsequently, Palanwatta will face a water interruption from 8:00 p.m. on April 4 until 8:00 p.m. on April 5.
The NWSDB further noted that these interruptions will be implemented once every three days under a rotational system. However, uninterrupted water supply will be maintained on days when cuts are not scheduled.
Under this system, the next scheduled water cuts will take place on April 7 in Padukka, April 8 in Homagama, and April 9 in Palanwatta.
