An indefinite water cut will be imposed in the municipal areas of Colombo, Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte and Dehiwela- Mount Lavinia, the Water Board said.  

It said the Kelani River had been contaminated with fuel leading to the supply of water to the Ambatale water treatment plant coming to a standstill.

Repairs are being carried out and the Water Board said it hoped the supply of water could be restored soon.(DS)
