In Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture, it is believed that tap water continues to leak due to freezing and bursting of water pipes, and the town is calling for water conservation.
According to Echizen Town, the amount of water used has been increasing since around the 25th of this month, mainly in the Echizen area, including the coastal area.
The main cause is believed to be water leakage due to freezing or bursting of water pipes.
The boiler that boils the crab also stopped...
At restaurants in the Echizen area, the water suddenly became thinner around 3:00 pm on the 29th, and the water stopped for about an hour after that.
As the amount of water decreased, the boiler that boiled the crab automatically stopped, so on the 29th, it was boiled in a pot to survive.
Manager Maki Miyaji said, "Since it's a restaurant, it's difficult to save water hygienically, but at home, I want to try to save water by taking a bath together as a family."
The town believes that water leakage continues due to damage to the water pipe in the Echizen area, but since the detailed situation such as the location is not known, the water pipe will be inspected to confirm.
The town is urging everyone in the town not to use tap water to melt snow and to conserve water, and to contact the town if you think your home or surrounding water pipes are damaged. .
