The government has allocated Rs. 1,000 million to improve urban and rural drinking water supply across the country.
The funds will be used to construct a new water supply system in Ambatale to meet the growing demand in the Colombo District, and to upgrade and establish new water facilities in Kolonnawa and Nugegoda-Jubilee Post.
Additionally, a new water project will be developed in Lunugamvehera, Hambantota District, to provide drinking water to communities facing scarcity and to support the growth of production-oriented industries in the region.
These initiatives are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to ensure safe and reliable water supply while fostering economic development in affected areas.
