National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) says that 18-hour water cut is scheduled to take place in several areas including Colombo and suburbs from 8 am on Saturday (19 Aug) until 2 am on Sunday (20 Aug).

The water cut will be imposed in the Colombo, Dehiwala-Mt. Lavinia, Kaduwela, and Kotte Municipal Council areas, and the Maharagama, Boralesgamuwa, Kolonnawa, Kotikawatte, Mulleriyawa Pradeshiya Sabha areas and the Ratmalana and Katubedda areas.

**The NWSDB explained that the water cut will be imposed due to essential maintenance work.**
