Sounding-type market research on naming rights, etc. of facilities owned by Water Works Bureau

Last Updated January 30, 2025

City of Yokohama, Water Works Bureau is examining whether water supply facilities can be utilized as long as they do not impair their original functions.

In January 2025, we conducted a sounding-type market survey of waterway bridges, water pipe bridges, distribution reservoirs, etc. We will also conduct surveys aimed at recruiting naming rights and advertisements for other facilities owned by Water Works Bureau (with some overlaps with those surveyed earlier).

Through "dialogue" with businesses, we will ask about the possibility of introducing naming rights and advertisements for water supply facilities widely, ask about price levels, recruitment conditions, etc. widely, and use it as a reference for future use of water supply facilities. Please join us.
