The water supply to several areas in Kelaniya and Gampaha will be suspended for 13 hours and 30 minutes on Saturday (14), the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has announced.
The cut will be in effect from 8.30 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. due to essential maintenance work on the power supply system serving the Biyagama Water Treatment Plant.
Residents in the Peliyagoda, Wattala-Mabola, Ja-Ela and Katunayake-Seeduwa Urban Council limits will be affected. The supply will also be interrupted in the Kelaniya, Wattala, Biyagama, Mahara, Dompe and Ja-Ela Pradeshiya Sabha areas, as well as parts of the Katana, Minuwangoda and Gampaha Pradeshiya Sabha areas.
The NWSDB has urged residents in the affected areas to store sufficient water in advance and use it sparingly during the interruption.
