Assistant Director of the Badulla District Disaster Management Center E.M.L Udayakumara said that persons using water in the Kahagolla, Kolathanna, Karagahawela and Mathotilla areas need remain cautious when consuming water.

General manager of the National water supply and drainage board Ranjith Balasooriya said that the water supply from this source to Diyathalawa and Haputhale has been suspended.

He went on to state that as these areas receive the water supply mainly from the Aluthwela water source there will be no disruption to the supply of water.
