The proposed Anamaduwa Integrated Water Supply Project will cover a population of about 81, 700 who presently depend on ground water and suffer a severe water shortage even during a moderate dry spell in Puttalam District. It will permanently address the drinking water issue in Anamaduwa Divisional Secretary area and surrounding areas. This will also eliminate water quality issues in schemes operated by Community Based Organisations (CBOs) within the project area as they will be able to obtain a bulk treated water supply from the proposed project.
The Ministry of Water Supply and Drainage is to construct a new intake at Inginimitiya reservoir with a capacity of 12500 m3/d, a modern full treatment plant including waste water treatment, 62km long clear water transmission mains, service water towers with capacities of 1500cum, 1000cum, 300cum and 328 km long distribution system including all electro-mechanical equipment which are included in the proposed Anamaduwa Integrated Water Supply Project.
