Kothmale Reservoir Spill Gates Opened Due to Heavy Rainfall

Authorities further stated that if the intense rainfall continues in these catchment areas, the remaining spill gates of the reservoir may open automatically. Therefore, residents living along both banks downstream of the Kothmale Oya are urged to remain vigilant.

Meanwhile, it has also been reported that water levels in the Castlereigh and Maussakele reservoirs are nearing spill level due to continuous rainfall in their respective catchment areas.
