History of the National Water Supply & Drainage Board
The Organization had its beginnings as a sub department under the Public Works Department, for Water Supply & Drainage. In 1965, it became a division under the Ministry of Local Government. From 1970, this division functioned as a separate department under the Ministry of Irrigation, Power & Highways and remained so until the present Board was established in
January 1975 by an Act of Parliament.
The National Water Supply & Drainage Board (NWSDB), which presently functions under the Ministry of Water Supply & Drainage is the principal authority providing safe drinking water and facilitating the provision of sanitation in Sri Lanka. In accordance with the Board Act. several major Urban Water Supply Schemes operated by Local Authorities were taken over by the NWSDB to provide more coverage & improved service. Consumer metering & billing commenced in 1982. Rural Water Supply & Sanitation programmes including deep well programmes are also being implemented by the NWSDB.
During the past 30 years the organization has considerably expanded its scope of activities. The employee numbers have increased from about one thousand (1,000) in 1975 to around seven thousand nine hundred and eighty one (7,981) in 2005.
The NWSDB is presently operating 287 Water Supply Schemes which cover 28.6% of the total population with pipe borne Water Supply, 10.0% of the population is served with hand pump tube wells. We hope to increase the coverage with pipe borne water to 40% by 2015 so that the United Nations Millennium Development Goal of 85% safe drinking water coverage can be achieved by that year. The NWSDB is also in charge of the sewerage system in Colombo & suburbs.
