Last Updated January 25, 2024

What is the temporary use of public sewers?

When we perform the following drainage such as construction drainage and use public sewer temporarily, please submit public sewer temporary use permission application, and please receive permission of The Mayor of Yokohama. (Yokohama City Sewerage Ordinance, Article 17, Paragraph 3)
(1) Spring water, rainwater, and construction drainage associated with civil engineering and construction work. (For spring water and rainwater, when using a pump with a kettle area)
(2) Drainage from temporary toilets and hand-washing areas installed in temporary offices
(3) Accumulated water from caretaker holes for telegraph telephone, electricity, gas, etc.
(4) Sewage drainage associated with other construction work.

In addition, when applying, drainage methods etc. must conform to the standards. In addition, waste equivalent to industrial waste cannot be drained.

Drainage method

The drainage method (connection method to the sewer) is as follows.

(1) When discharging in a combined area, it flows directly into the connecting basin.
(2) When discharging in a diverted area, let it flow directly into the sewage connection basin.
(3) Drainage associated with construction on the road (including underground) can be connected to the human hole by laying the mounting pipe and flow in.
However, please consult with Public Works Office about connection position, construction method, restoration method, etc.
(4) If there is no connection basin on or near the site, apply for self-financing at Naka Public Works Office, install the connection basin and mounting pipe, and submit an application for temporary use.

Structure of drainage facilities, etc.

When draining construction drainage, etc., install drainage facilities as follows. (Excluding Temporary Office Miscellaneous Drainage and Temporary Toilet Drainage)
(1) Public sewerage facilities, road facilities, etc. that do not interfere with traffic.
