Informational

The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) has announced that water outages will impact parts of Colombo District April 27-07:00 April 28 due to maintenance works. Affected regions include Colombo 05 and 06 areas, Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia and Moratuwa Urban Council areas, and Jayanthipura and Pelawatte. Officials have advised residents to store water.

Some business disruptions are possible, especially for companies that rely on large quantities of municipal water. Residents typically rely on private water suppliers during water outages.

Confirm alternative water supplies for business operations. Pressure and water quality may be poor after service resumes; run taps for several minutes before using water. Use only bottled water from reputable suppliers for drinking and hygienic purposes.
