Police say that no casualties were reported due to the forewarning issued to the area residents.
However, it is reported that four houses have sunk into the reservoir while a few buildings have been damaged.
The incident has hampered transportation in the area, according to the Police.
Therefore, those travelling to Maskeliya from Hatton are advised to travel via the Norton route while those travelling towards Bogawantalawa from Hatton will be able to travel via Dikkoya .
