The Water Board says there will be a water cut in several parts of Colombo and Greater Colombo from 9am tomorrow to 1 a.m on Sunday owing to urgent repairs to be undertaken by the Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB).

Municipal councils: Kotte, Dehiwala –Mt.Lavinia.

Urban councils: Maharagama, Peliyagoda, Wattala-Mabola, Ja-Ela, Kelaniya and Kolonnawa.

The NWSDB stated that a disruption in the power supply to the Ambatale Water Treatment plant is the reason behind the water-cut.
