The National Water Supplies And
Drainage Board one of the poorest managed Boards in the country has announced a 24 hour water cut in many areas in Colombo District from 9 a.m today (30) to 9 a.m tomorrow(31) by putting people in great Inconvenience.
According to the Board this 24 hour water cut will be implemented in Greater Colombo area,Dehiiwala -Mount Lavinia Municipal Council area ,,Boraleagamuwa ,Maharagama,Kaduwela ,Kotte, Kolonnawa Urban council areas and Kotikawatta -Mulleriyawa Pradeshiya sabha area .Rathmalana and Soyzapura flats are also subjected to this water cut .
The ongoing Electricity cuts and urgent maintenance work of pipe lines are given as the reasons behind this water cut.
unfortunately This Water Board do not have enough knowledge to understand that long hour water cuts are causing hygienic problems among st a section of people in these areas especially slum areas .
Even the health authorities have turned a blind eye towards this problem..
