NWSDB denies allegations

Certain companies are these days promoting their products in the Hambantota, Galle and Matara Districts saying that the water released by the National Water Supply and Drainage Board (NWSDB) contains harmful substances to the health and sanitary conditions of the consumers and urge the people to buy the water filters being imported by their firms.

The NWSDB Head Office and branches in the Hambantota District said that the water released by the board is being checked every two hours by specialists and harmful substances were never detected by them in the water the NWSDB releases to the consumers.
