August 10, Colombo (LNW): Residents in several areas of the Gampaha District are advised to prepare for a scheduled disruption to their water supply, as the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has announced a 10-hour water cut set to take place tomorrow (11).
The temporary suspension of water services is due to essential maintenance work being carried out on the main transmission pipeline that connects Nittambuwa to Minuwangoda.
This pipeline is a crucial component of the Gampaha–Attanagalla–Minuwangoda Integrated Water Supply Scheme, and the maintenance is part of routine efforts to ensure its continued efficiency and safety.
According to the NWSDB, the water cut will be in effect from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and will impact a wide range of areas across the district. Key affected localities include Attanagalla, Pasyala, Bataliya, Ranpokunagama, and Nittambuwa.
Several smaller towns and residential zones within the network will also experience interruptions, including Kandahena, Mapagolla, Kongasdeniya, Pinnagollawatta, Kolawatta, Gorakadeniya, the Ranpokunagama Housing Scheme, Urapola, Dikkanda, Meevitigammana, Maimbula, Mathalana, Haggalla, Alawala, Kalalpitiya, and Ellamulla.
