In Yamamoto Town, Miyagi Prefecture, where the earthquake with a seismic intensity of less than 6 was observed on the 13th of this month, the water outage that has continued in some areas has not been resolved, and we are planning to set up a water supply station on the 18th.
Due to the earthquake on the 13th, water pipes burst in Yamamoto Town one after another, and although the water supply was temporarily cut off at about 2,900 households and restoration is proceeding, as of 5 pm on the 17th, about 200, mainly in the Sakamoto district in the southern part of the town. The water supply is cut off at the door.
On the 17th, water supply stations were set up at three locations in the town, and of these, residents visited the Sakamoto Regional Exchange Center one after another when water supply began at 8:30 am, and received water in containers such as PET bottles. It was.
Misako Funaguchi (80), who lives nearby, says she has not been able to take a bath or wash clothes after the earthquake due to water outages.
He lives with his son and cannot wash the dishes he used, and the inconvenience of his life is gradually increasing.
Mr. Funaguchi said, "I felt the importance of water again. I want water to come out soon."
The town was aiming for restoration by the end of the 17th, but due to the many leaks in the water pipes, the work will continue after the 18th.
Water supply on the 18th will be provided only at the Sakamoto Regional Exchange Center from 8:30 am to 5 pm.
