About revision of water rate
Water rates have been revised from July 1, 2021. On average, we increased 12% on average and changed the pricing structure. In addition, there is no revision of the sewerage fee that has been paid together with the water rate.
Last update date April 1, 2022
Reason for Revision
Many of the water supply facilities, such as water purification plants, distribution reservoirs, and water pipes, were maintained during the period of high economic growth, so they are aging and need to be renewed. In addition, in order to minimize the damage caused by earthquake disasters, it is necessary to promote earthquake resistance.
On the other hand, water tariff income is on a downward trend, and as the population declines in the future, toll revenue will become even more severe.
Water Works Bureau will continue to make thorough management efforts, but we have revised the water rates to provide safe and high quality tap water to citizens in the future.
Details of fee revision
We increased water rates by 12% on average. In addition, we have shifted our fee structure to a fee structure based on caliber.
Changes | (Old) Charge structure until June 30, 2021 | (New) Charge structure from July 1, 2021 | Contents |
---|---|---|---|
Basic charge | By application (¥790/month) | By caliber | The basic fee is based on the diameter of the meter. |
Pay-as-you-go rate | By application | By caliber | The metered fee is set for each meter diameter. |
Basic water volume | 8m3 (1 month) | Abolition | A system has been designed to pay a basic fee and a metered fee (for the amount of water used). |
Transition to a fee structure based on caliber
In order to ensure that citizens can use tap water at any time, Water Works Bureau maintains and maintain facilities that meet the amount of water required. In addition, when a large amount of water is used at a time, the meter diameter is set according to the amount of water used by customers, such as installing a large diameter meter. In order to pay the expenses required for facility maintenance and maintenance according to the available amount of water that can be used for each caliber, the basic fee is currently set from the basic fee of 790 yen / month to the basic fee according to the diameter of the water meter. System ". The pay-as-you-go rates are also set for each caliber.
(Confirming the diameter of the water meter)
The meter diameter of the customer is displayed on the surface of the "Notice of Water and Sewerage Usage (Meter Reading Card)". Please check it.
(a) Meter caliber (20 mm in this sample)
(b) Amount of water used this time
(c) Water rates (revised on July 1, 2021)
(e) Sewerage fee (without revision)
Abolition of basic water volume
The current rate includes the basic charge of 8m3 of the basic water volume per month, and the fee is uniform within 8m3 regardless of the amount of water. After the rate revision, the basic water volume will be abolished in order to create a fair and easy-to-understand fee system in which the fee is paid according to the amount of water used.
New price list (for one month)
Water rates are calculated by measuring the amount of water used by meter reading every two months. For two months' water rates, see "How to check water rates"
Time of revision
From July 1, 2021, the new rate system will be applied. (There is no revision of sewerage usage fee.)
[In case of use before June 30, 2021]
As shown in the following table, water rates according to the new rate table will be applied from the time of meter reading in "September for customers with odd-numbered month meter reading" and "October for customers with even-numbered meter readings".

Calculation tool
"Simplified Water Charge Calculation Tool" (outside site)
The "Simplified Water Charge Calculation Tool", you can estimate a new water rate that will be revised from July 1, 2021.
Calculation method
Water rates measure the amount of water used by meter reading every two months. For this reason, the amount of water used for two months is reduced to 1/2, and the monthly fee is added to calculate the water charge for two months.
[Example: In the case of a diameter of 20 mm, 2 months and the amount of water used 30 m3]
Calculate assuming that the amount of water used for two months is reduced to 1/2, and use 15m3 for the first month and 15m3 in the second month.
(1st month + 2nd month) x consumption tax = water charge
(1,858 yen + 1,858 yen) x 1.1 = 4,087 yen (rounded down to less than 1 yen)
※If the amount of water used for two months is 31m3, calculate separately for 15m3 and 16m3 (if the amount of water used is odd, calculate in the same way.)
※The water charge is paid together with the sewerage usage fee, in principle, for two months.
