A water supply for Wegala in the Meda-Dumbara electorate will be inaugurated today by Urban Development Minister Dinesh Gunawardena on the invitation of Central Province Chief Minister Sarath Ekanayake at Wegala, Teldeniya.

Chief Minister Sarath Ekanayake said this is another programme under the Mahinda Chintanaya to provide pure drinking water to the public.

He said 550 families and over 3,000 persons in Wegala, Meegahamadiththa and Doraliyadda South will benefit from the new water scheme.

The World Bank had funded this project while the Central Provincial Council and Meda-Dumbara Pradeshiya Sabha had spent its own funds.
