Major leak as oil pipe bursts in Orugodawatta

Ceylon Petroleum Storage and and Terminals Limited (CPSTL) Chairman and Managing Director Maj. Gen. (retired) M R W De Zoysa yesterday said the infrastructure at the Kolonnawa Facility's Orugodawatta oil storage farm is far too old and must be repaired at once.

He said this on being inquired by the Daily News about a pipe line of the Orugodawatta that leaked oil to the surface of the road with rain water yesterday.

The people in the area gathered round the spot and collected crude oil from the leaking pipe. Asked about the loss that the leaking crude oil pipeline has caused,CPSTL Chairman Zoysa said, " it was a minor leak. And it was not the only pipeline that has leaked during the rain."

"There was another crude oil pipeline leak in the morning at Mahawatta, in the Mattakkuliya area," he said.

"Two new pipelines had to be laid from Colombo harbor to Kolonnawa oil storage facility to prevent future oil leaks as such ," he explained.
