Water bill payments digitalised: NWSDB

18 March 2022 02:28 pm

Due to the shortage of paper for printing utility bills, the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has decided to introduce digital payment methods with a receipt.

NWSDB Additional General Manager (Billing) Piyal Pathmanatha said with the prevailing dollar crisis in the country, the companies that import papers for printing utility bills are faced with numerous difficulties.

Therefore, the NWSDB is contemplating to introduce alternative methods to help consumers to settle their bills. We have already introduced many digital billing methods which prevent consumers standing in queues to make their payment.

With this introduction, consumers cannot make any excuse when it comes to paying their bills. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
