14-hour water cut in many areas of Colombo

A 14-hour water cut will be in place in several areas in Colombo on Saturday (5) from 8.00 pm to 10.00 am on Sunday (6) due to essential distribution network improvement work, the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) said.

As such, water supply to Colombo 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 will be interrupted while water supply will be at low pressure in Colombo 2, 3 and 11.

The NWSDB advises consumers to fill sufficient water ahead and expresses regret for the inconvenience caused. It also requests people to use water cautiotiously. (Chaturanga Samarawickrama)
