Govt to supply 150,000 domestic drinking water connections
The Cabinet of Ministers approved the proposal tabled by the Prime Minister as the Minister of Urban, Water Supply and Housing Facilities for launching an accelerated programme for supplying 150,000 new domestic water supply connections during the first two quarters of the year 2020 by taking steps required for eradicating constraints.
The Water Supply and Drainage Board has already supplied supply water connections to 2.4 million consumers covering 41% of the Sri Lankan population while newly supplying 110,000 domestic drinking water connections, according to the cabinet Memorandum.
However, it has become difficult to supply the domestic drinking water connection in certain areas although there is an additional capacity since it has become compulsory to extend the pipe lines covering the roads / areas void of coverage from the existing pipelines, the consumers have to pay approximately Rupees 20,000/- as a down payment as well as have to pay charges for renovating the motor ways.
