Disaster wells

In Yokohama City, with the cooperation of well owners, wells that can be used by local people as living water other than drinking water such as washing water in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake are designated as "disaster emergency wells". We post a "house for cooperation" plate and publish a list of "houses for cooperation for disasters" with owner information.

In the owners of wells, we are looking for those who can provide well water as emergency wells (in designation, it is necessary to meet certain requirements for the quality of well water and the structure of wells).

Please see Yokohama-shi public health center homepage about the details of designated requirements and place of well for disaster emergency in the city.
