In Yukuhashi City and Kanda Town in the eastern part of Fukuoka Prefecture, where the water storage rate of dams is declining and measures are being taken to address water shortages, we are concerned that the impact will spread after the rainy season.
In Yukuhashi City and Kanda Town, the pressure of water sent to homes etc. will be reduced by 10% from the middle of this month due to the decrease in water storage rate at the "Aburagi Dam" in Soeda Town, which is the main water source. We are doing "water supply".
In addition, 25 public elementary and junior high schools have postponed the pool opening scheduled from the middle to the end of this month to save water.
The water storage rate of Aburagi Dam, which was less than 15% in the middle of this month, has recovered somewhat due to the rain last weekend, and it is 20.6% as of 9 am on the 28th.
However, since there is concern that the rainy season will continue after the rainy season, Yukuhashi City and Kanda Town will call on citizens and townspeople to save water, and if the water storage rate of the dam further declines, it will be sent to households. We are considering further reducing the water supply pressure.
