An isolated hospital with oil-filled water Aiming for elimination within 30 days of drainage Saga Aug. 30 4:20

In Omachi, Saga Prefecture, where oil spilled from the factory due to heavy rain, some hospitals and many homes are still isolated from the oily water. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is urging drainage using a pump for drainage, aiming to eliminate isolation during 30 days.

The Takeo River Office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is located about 1 km southeast of the Saga Iron Works Omachi Factory, where oil spilled due to heavy rain, and is in an isolated state such as the Juntendo Hospital in the Fukumo district. In order to lower the water level, 11 drainage pumps have been installed to drain water into the river.

The drainage pump is capable of pumping 50 cubic meters of water per second, and the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism advances the drainage with the pump and lowers the water level from 20 centimeters to 30 centimeters within 30 days, eliminating the isolated state. I am aiming for.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Takeo River Office says, “We want to work to eliminate the isolated state as soon as possible.”
