LSN Sri Lanka ·
Water supply has been suspended in multiple areas spanning the Colombo and Gampaha districts, impacting residents across the two provinces. The service disruption has affected several neighbourhoods, leaving households without access to piped water supply.
The exact cause of the suspension has not been immediately specified, though such interruptions typically occur due to maintenance work, infrastructure repairs, or system failures requiring attention from the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB).
Residents in affected areas are advised to make alternative arrangements for their water requirements during the suspension period. Authorities have not yet announced a specific timeline for the restoration of services.
The NWSDB regularly conducts maintenance and repair operations across its water supply networks to ensure service reliability. Citizens facing water supply issues are encouraged to contact their local water authority for updates on restoration schedules and affected zones.
