About the anniversary of modern water supply establishment

Japan's modern water supply was first established in Yokohama on October 17, 1887 (Meiji 20) under the guidance of the British engineer Henry Spencer Palmer.
"Modern water supply" is a water supply that filters water taken from rivers and other places and supplies water at pressure using iron pipes, etc., and we use today.
It is the same as the water supply system.

In City of Yokohama, Water Works Bureau, in commemoration of the establishment of modern water supply, "October 17" was designated as "the anniversary of the establishment of modern water supply" to many people.
We hold events and other events so that you can enjoy it.

To commemorate the establishment of the modern water supply, a “Yokohama Water Supply History Exhibition” was held, which exhibited large tapestries and replicas of the lion head common stoppers.
