Niigata City announced that it was possible to avoid the planned water outage scheduled from the night of the 28th in all areas, saying that it was possible to secure the amount of water supply from the water purification plant by treating the leaking location.
In the future, if severe cold weather continues, there is a risk of scheduled water outages again, so we will continue to ask for cooperation in saving water.
In Niigata City, due to a series of water leaks due to burst water pipes due to cold weather, about four times as much water as usual is being used, and there is a risk that the four water purification plants will not be able to secure the necessary amount of water supply. Assuming that there is, it was announced that about 25,600 households in each part of the city and Tagami Town will have their water supply cut off from the night of the 28th to the 29th.
Afterwards, officials and businesses took measures to deal with the areas where water leakage was confirmed, and called on citizens to conserve water. That's it.
For this reason, Niigata City announced that planned water outages from the night of the 28th were avoided in all areas.
On the other hand, if the severe cold weather continues and the amount of water used increases, it may be necessary to suspend the planned water supply again. We ask for your cooperation in saving water.
