# 10-hour water cut in Colombo and suburbs

The water supply for parts of Colombo and its suburbs will be suspended for 10 hours tonight (May 19), the National Water Supply & Drainage Board (NWSDB) says.

The water cut will be effective from 10.00 p.m. today until 8.00 a.m. on Saturday (May 20).

The following areas will be affected by the 10-hour water cut:

• Kotte and Kaduwela Municipal Council areas
• Maharagama and Boralesgamuwa Urban Council areas
• Colombo 04, 05, 07 and 08

The water supply is being suspended due to urgent maintenance at the Ambatale Water Treatment Plant, the NWSDB said in a media release.
