Power cut disrupts the water supply to areas other than Colombo

Date:

Upali Ratnayake, Joint Secretary of the Water Supply and Drainage Union says that the water supply will also be disrupted due to the ongoing power cuts island-wide.

He said that the Ambatale Water Treatment Plant, which supplies water to Colombo and its suburbs, will not be affected by the power cut as it will be able to generate electricity through generators.

However, as the water supply process in other parts of the country is directly connected to the national grid, there may be less pressure on the local water supply, he added.
