The Water Works Bureau also calls for caution when the store is closed.

"I'm closed for a while. I used about 100 tons of water without permission for half a year. I contracted a security company in the shop, but I didn't think it would be stolen."

April 22 A tweet posted by a karaoke shop owner in Ibaraki prefecture on the day.

According to the management, it was an event that was closed from March 29 to the end of May to prevent infection with the new coronavirus.

In a shop that doesn't face the main street like a field, the owner went to the shop once a week to water the flower beds. When I visited the shop on April 21 and looked at the water meter reading slip that was in the post, I was surprised that the usage amount for two months was 166 cubic meters. This is because it was used four times as much as usual.

Even after deducting the amount used before the holiday, it means that a large amount of water of 100 cubic meters or more, or more than 100 tons, was used.

The post also contained a document from the Waterworks Bureau that warns that the amount of usage was high, and there was no malfunction in the water around the store, and no water leakage was observed.

It is possible that water was used without permission from the faucet installed outside the store.

But I still don't know how and how I carried 100 tons of water.

“I thought there might be some people who suffered the same damage as the stores were forced to refrain from doing so, so I put it on Twitter while unfamiliar,” said the manager.

In addition, as a result of consultation with the local water authority by the management, it is suspected that the water was used without permission, so the water charge was reduced only for this time.

The Waterworks Bureau also calls for "I want you to be careful at stores that are closed."
