The board has clarified that the 18-hour water cut is necessary to facilitate repairs on a transmission pipeline that supplies water from the Ambatale power plant. The maintenance work aims to address a water leak, ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the water supply system serving these areas.
Affected residents are advised to make necessary arrangements to manage their water usage during this period. The National Water Supply and Drainage Board assures that every effort will be made to complete the repairs promptly and minimize inconvenience to the public.
