The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) says essential maintenance work on the main water transmission pipeline from Labugama–Kalatuwawa to Maharagama has been completed.
The Water Board said work to restore the water supply is currently underway. However, it noted that it will take some time for the main pipeline to refill, establish the required water pressure and return the distribution system to normal operations.
As a result, some areas may continue to experience either low water pressure or a temporary disruption to water supply.
The NWSDB said water supply is being restored gradually across affected areas, with staff working continuously to resume normal supply to all consumers as quickly as possible.
The Water Board expressed regret for the inconvenience caused and thanked the public for their patience, understanding and continued support. (Newswire)
