Due to the rise in the water level of the Samanalewa reservoir, obstacles have arisen to close the leakage points.
It is due to the increase in the water level of the reservoir due to the rain.
The Ceylon Electricity Board stated that its water level has now risen to 10% of its total capacity.
Recently, with the dry weather, the water level in the reservoir dropped to 0.9%.
At that time, electrical engineers found 09 water leaks in the reservoir.
Although a project to repair them has been started, it has been hindered due to the rising water level.
