Water supply standard of water which considered safety enough is set of tap water by country, and the observance and inspection are required in water supply companies of the whole country.
We include six requirements such as standard of water of tap water not being polluted to the cause of the disease living thing by water supply method Article 4 or not including toxic substance. As this concrete standard, the standard value of 51 items is set in the departmental order about standard of water.
In Yokohama-shi, we set "water quality management value" that is severer than standard of country originally and by performing water quality management from water source to faucet appropriately, supply "water high quality by security" to customer.
In Water Works Bureau, we go to home of customer that examination of water is hoped for and perform examination of water with faucet free.
We would like application to Water Works Bureau customer Service Center.
In addition, we are out of this examination of water because technique manager is located in (excluded partly) when effective capacity of cistern to receive in large-scale apartment buildings exceeds 100 cubic meters, and periodical cleaning is done.
Because asbestos-cement pipe (asbestos pipe) was easy to process price cheaply, it was used in the country from the early days of the Showa era.
However, asbestos-cement pipe is not used for water pipe of Yokohama-shi now because we pushed forward exchange sequentially from 1968 as aged deterioration is early, and asbestos-cement pipe became big cause of leaking water.
In addition, in Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, asbestos is full of the toxicity accompanied with ingestion in comparison with inhalation from respiratory organs, and, also, abundance of asbestos in tap water does not set standard of water in problem and level that it is small because there is not.
In the guidelines for drinking-water quality of the World Health Organization (WHO), it is said, "we can conclude that it is not necessary to set guidelines level from the viewpoint of healthy influence" about asbestos in drinking water.
When service pipe made of lead is used for service pipe of home, a very small amount of lead may dissolve in tap water which stayed. Please use first thing in the morning water other than drinking. About the later running water, there is no health problem even if we drink.
About management and the quality of the water about waterworks from cistern to receive in apartment buildings to faucet, it was jurisdiction of Health and Social Welfare Bureau. However, because sanitary problem by incompleteness of management occurs, the water supply method is revised in June, 2001, and even Water Works Bureau supplying water to will participate about management of water tank Channel.
In Yokohama-shi, it revises the water supply regulations in December, 2002 and gives following response.
(1) Depending on request from user (inhabitants) for water tank water supply, Water Works Bureau performs examination of water with faucet of each house free and tells about the result.
(2) When we jointly carry out examination of water with cistern to receive and check in cooperation with Health and Social Welfare Bureau when safety of the quality of the water has a problem as a result of examination of water with faucet, and it is admitted that it is necessary about management of water tank Channel, instruction advises for installer of water tank Channel and urges. Examination of water is not included in the water supply method enforcement regulations,
(i) Thing that user for the quality of the water is highly concerned with
(ii) Plan equalization of user and services such as single-family houses
(iii) In consideration of examination of water being necessary, we became the regulations as Motoichi original correspondence to judge the management situation of water tank water supply.
In addition, there is no change in contents of managerial responsibility of water tank water supply installer based on the regulations ("the regulations about securing of drinking water which is hygienic by security in Yokohama-shi simple water supply water supply and small scale tray water tank water supply") of the water supply method and Health and Social Welfare Bureau jurisdiction.
