Residents in Colombo and several surrounding areas will experience a 12-hour water interruption tomorrow (04), the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) announced.
The scheduled water cut will be in effect from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
According to the NWSDB, the suspension of water supply will affect Colombo 01 to Colombo 15, along with 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 Board said the interruption is necessary due to a temporary power shutdown at the Ambatale Water Treatment Plant, allowing essential maintenance work to be carried out at the Mulleriyawa Grid Substation.
At the same time, electrical system upgrade work is scheduled to take place at the Dehiwala Water Pumping Station and the Maligawatte Elie House Pumping Station.
The NWSDB has advised consumers in the affected areas to store sufficient water ahead of the planned interruption to ensure their household needs can be met during the 12-hour water cut.
