Refurbished water pumps were installed at Tissa Wewa on Friday (18th March) with the assistance of the Sri Lanka Navy.
These three water pumps were used in a water purification centre in Anuradhapura before. A water pump of this nature weighs around 200 kilograms and they needed to be replaced 20m away from the bank and at a depth of 3m from water level for operation.
Water requirement in the area will be restored after this.
