The National Water Supply and Drainage Board will suspend supply to several areas around Kandy for five hours on Friday, 13 November, for maintenance work at the Kandy South Water Purification Plant.
Supply will be cut from 7.30 a.m. to 12 noon, Hiru News reported.
Areas affected
The Board listed the following localities:
- Kadugannawa
- Eriyagama
- Gannoruwa
- Kendakaduwa
- Kehelwala
- Karuwalawatta
- Angunawela
- Bowalawatta
- Mahakanda
- Mobare
The Board said the work is essential maintenance at the Kandy South Water Purification Plant, carried out to deliver a higher-quality water service.
This is a separate advisory from the Gampaha and Kelaniya water cut announced for Saturday, which this desk covered in Water cut for Gampaha and Kelaniya areas on Saturday.
Not reported
The filing does not say when supply is expected to return to normal pressure, whether bowser services will be provided, or which specific grama niladhari divisions within the named areas are covered. It does not say what the maintenance involves.
On sourcing: this report rests on a single verified source. Routine utility advisories of this kind are typically carried by one or two outlets only; no second verified newsroom’s filing on this advisory could be reached.
A caution for readers searching this notice: Kandy water-cut announcements are a dense recurring-headline family. Several earlier 2026 advisories carry near-identical headlines, including a 22-hour cut affecting Kandy District areas and at least one other “five-hour water cut in Kandy tomorrow” item from a different month. The discriminators for this notice are the date (13 November), the 7.30 a.m.–noon window and the Kandy South plant.
