Chairman Chandana Bandara stated that the Board has not initiated any discussions regarding tariff revisions at this time. He added that any potential adjustments will only be considered after June 30, allowing authorities to first assess the evolving situation.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka is grappling with a severe drought, raising concerns about the sustainability of water supply across several regions. The Board warned that interruptions to continuous water distribution may occur, with possible restrictions imposed in affected areas to ensure that essential needs are met.
Key water sources, including Labugama Reservoir and Kalatuwawa Reservoir, have recorded significant declines in water levels, intensifying the pressure on the national supply system.
Authorities are urging the public to use water sparingly over the next two weeks. Residents are advised to prioritize essential usage as demand continues to rise under challenging weather conditions.
Officials emphasize that public cooperation will be crucial in managing the limited water resources and maintaining supply during this critical period.
