Water supply cancellation “Finally in the original life” Beware of turbidity and rust Chiba September 16 19:08
In Chiba Prefecture, which was severely damaged by the typhoon, there are some areas where water outage is resolved. While the local residents are relieved, the country calls for attention that the water immediately after the water outage may become cloudy or rusty.
In Shirahama Town, Minamiboso City, Chiba Prefecture, most of the 2,400 households were shut down due to the typhoon, but it almost disappeared by the 15th.
In the house of Kiyo Nishimura (79), who had continued power outages and water outages, the water came out for the first time in six days in the morning of the 15th. Until now, we have been using water stored in the baths and water brought by families living in Chiba city.
Nishimura-san said, “While the water was shut off, it was hard to use the toilet. It was more inconvenient than the power outage, so I was able to get rid of it and finally return to my original life after cooking and washing.” I was talking about it.
"To be able to drink early"
On the other hand, in the house of Kikue Hirano (73), the water fading out a few days ago, but white and muddy water comes out of the faucet. For this reason, we refrain from drinking and when we eat meals and dishes, we use commercial water instead of water. I went to a store about 15 minutes on foot, but it was a hard work to carry, and now I have my family help me.
Mr. Hirano said, “It seems that the water is still hazy and I want to be able to drink quickly and with peace of mind.”
Drink after turbidity
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the water immediately after the water outage disappears may become cloudy or rust may float. At first, it is used not as drinking water but as water for daily use, such as cleaning. Also, for detailed information, I would like you to check the information of the Waterworks Bureaus on each site on the website.
