July 06, Colombo (LNW): Residents in numerous parts of Sri Lanka’s Gampaha District are set to experience a 12-hour interruption to their water supply on Monday (07), due to planned infrastructure maintenance.
The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has issued a public notice confirming the suspension, which will take place between 8:30 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.
The temporary disruption will affect a wide stretch of areas, including the towns and suburbs under the jurisdiction of the Peliyagoda, Wattala, Ja-Ela, and Katunayake-Seeduwa Urban Councils.
Additionally, water services will be unavailable across several Pradeshiya Sabha regions, namely Kelaniya, Biyagama, Mahara, Dompe, Katana, Minuwangoda, and Gampaha.
According to the NWSDB, the shutdown is necessary to enable critical maintenance and upgrade work at the Sapugaskanda Grid Substation—an essential hub in the region’s utility infrastructure.
