The Hon. T.B. Sarath
Hon. T.B. Sarath stated that the Kantale Water Treatment Plant’s capacity of 54,000 cubic metres per day is insufficient because water consumption in the Trincomalee District has already exceeded that level. He said proposals have been prepared to address the resulting crisis and that the Government is prepared to allocate the necessary funds to meet the need.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, we use the Kantale Water Treatment Plant. It can treat 54,000 cubic metres per day. Consumption in the Trincomalee District already exceeds 54,000 cubic metres per day; hence the current crisis. We have prepared and presented proposals to address this going forward. We are ready, from the very outset, to allocate the required funds. The present Government is prepared to meet this need fully.
