The Hon. Chanaka Madugoda
Hon. Chanaka Madugoda asked whether the National Water Supply and Drainage Board could provide interim drinking water to affected areas while the longer-term project, expected to receive Budget funding in 2027, is implemented. He noted that completion could take a further three to four years and stressed that residents should not have to wait several more years for relief.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, we all hope this will become a reality in 2027. My second supplementary: As a short-term measure, can the NWSDB provide drinking water to the affected areas in the interim? Even if funds are allocated in the 2027 Budget, completion will take 3–4 years, and people cannot suffer for another 4–5 years.
