The National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) says that payments of water bills has decreased by around 15%.

NWSDB General Manager – Mr. Padmanatha Gajadhirarachchi says that the bill payments yet to be received by the Board is around Rs. 12 billion.

He further notes that timely payments will prevent unnecessary supply disconnections.

Meanwhile, President of the Jathika Paribhogika Peramuna (JPP) – Mr. Asela Sampath says that in the face of the prevailing economic crisis, many people are likely to visit eateries to drink water, rather than to eat, resulting in higher water bills.

In this backdrop, some hotels have even begun to limit the amount of water provided to their customers for free, he added.

Low income levels have led to soaring water bills left unpaid, he further notes.
