Water Distribution System

Last update date April 1, 2024

 Yokohama City is a hilly area with a lot of undulations, and at the same time there are many low altitude areas such as landfills, so it is difficult to send water to the entire city at a certain pressure.
 For this reason, City of Yokohama, Water Works Bureau uses a water distribution block system divided into 25 water supply areas (water distribution blocks) in the city.

Water distribution block system

 Each distribution block has one distribution reservoir and pumping station. In addition, in order to use energy efficiently, the water supply area is divided into a natural flow area (low ward) and a pump-based area (high ward). As a result, even in the event of an accident such as a power outage or a water pipe rupture occurs, the range of effects such as water cutoff can be minimized and restored as soon as possible.
 Furthermore, by connecting the water distribution blocks with a large diameter water pipe, we are strengthening our support system so that tap water can be sent from the adjacent water distribution block in the event of an accident such as water cutoff.
