evidence: Our inquiries revealed that the reports on social media claiming that pipe water in Colombo is unsuitable for consumption due to a shortage of chlorine and power supply issues are misleading. While Ceylon Electricity Board acknowledged that there were minor power cuts in some water treatment plant areas, National Water Supply Board assures that the water released after frequent tests are 100% safe and claims related to Chlorine supply are false as there are stocks lasting up to 6 more months. Furthermore, health authorities in Colombo and suburbs also have not come across any specific illness related to water contamination in the past few weeks.
