The Hon. (Dr.) Susil Ranasinghe - Minister of Housing, Construction and Water Supply
The Minister said he could not confirm details beyond official National Water Supply and Drainage Board data, noting that national production-demand gaps and low water pressure restrict supply hours. He undertook to discuss whether Ampara water sources could serve the cited areas, review issues regarding the reported absence of applications, and examine the proposed package plant, while noting that similar proposals across the country require significant multi-year funding.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, I cannot confirm specifics beyond the official data provided by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board. Nationally, production-demand gaps and low pressure limit supply windows. I will discuss with the Board whether Ampara sources can serve the cited areas, review the “no applications” issue, and examine your package plant proposal. Many such proposals exist countrywide and require substantial funding over multiple years. We will study feasible measures.
