The Mayor of Kandy L.B.Aluvihare has ordered the closure of at least three water tanks in Kandy until they are completely cleaned.
He said that the tanks had been polluted owing to the dry season experienced in the area.
He added that leaves and other material had collected in the tanks and the water level in these tanks had receded resulting in the pollution of the water.
