Ogamachi, Saga Voices of insecurity from residents about oil spills from the factory August 29, 9:25
In Omachi-cho, Saga Prefecture, where oil spilled from the factory, houses were still in contact with oil-filled water even on the morning of the 29th, and residents were worried.
On the morning of the 28th, heavy rains caused water to flow into the Saga Iron Works Omachi Plant in the Omachi-cho Fukumo area, and a large amount of oil spilled around.
The spilled oil can be up to approximately 114,000 liters.
Many people who live in the vicinity of the ironworks have been evacuated to evacuation shelters, etc., but some people have visited the district from the morning of 29th to check the state of their homes.
In this area, there are still many areas where water is not drawn and the first floor of the building is inundated, so most of the houses are inaccessible.
A man who said the first floor of the house was flooded and three families had been evacuated to the evacuation center since 28th. “This is the first time such damage has been brought out of the house. I don't know what the house is like, "he said.
In the vicinity of the ironworks, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Takeo River Office and prefectures are using oil fences to remove oil.
