Public urged to use tap water sparingly

25 Jan 2022

Consumers have been advised to use tap water sparingly as the water levels at reservoirs are running low, the National Water Supply & Drainage Board (NWS&DB) has advised in a communique. The NWS&DB noted that consumers in highland areas will have to be supplied water under low pressure, in order to meet the demands for drinking water. Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's power crisis has also escalated over the past few days, due to the shortage of heavy fuel and diesel required for power plants, breakdown of generators, and the sharp decrease in water levels in reservoirs for hydropower plants.
