About disaster measures of water supply pipe (water supply equipment) (2025.02.17)

　Since fiscal 2020, Water Works Bureau has designated water pipes from branch of distribution pipes to water meters as pipes with excellent earthquake resistance when customers install or update new water pipes.
　In the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that occurred in January 2024, even after the restoration of the water pipe to the water pipe and the water meter was completed, due to water leakage of the water pipe in the residential area (the faucet side from the water meter), There were many situations where water did not come out of the faucet.
　For this reason, the water supply pipe on the faucet side from the water meter should also select a pipe type with excellent earthquake resistance, and as a measure to secure a water supply that can be done at home, install a water tap and a water stopcock near the water meter. We recommend that you have it.
　In addition to new construction and rebuilding of buildings, please consider the building you currently live in.
