June 09, Colombo (LNW): Residents across several parts of the Gampaha District are being advised to prepare for a scheduled 10-hour interruption to their water supply on Wednesday (11), as announced by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB).
The disruption, which will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., will affect a number of key localities including Peliyagoda, Wattala, Ja-Ela, and areas governed by the Katunayake-Seeduwa Urban Council. In addition, residents living within the Kelaniya, Biyagama, Mahara, Dompe, Katana, Minuwangoda, and Gampaha Pradeshiya Sabha jurisdictions are also expected to experience a complete halt in water supply during this period.
The temporary suspension is necessary to facilitate the integration of a newly installed solar power system at the Biyagama Water Treatment Plant with the national electricity grid, according to officials from the NWSDB.
The NWSDB has expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and assured that every effort will be made to restore services promptly once the work is completed.
