Mie’s Water Purification Plants Open for Public Viewing

Learn More about Your Tap Water!

 

The Public Utilities Agency is opening up the water purification plants in Harima, Takano and Taki for public viewing on Sunday, August 3.

Staff members will show visitors water purification facilities, let visitors try their hand at turning impure water into clean water, and explain in easy-to-understand terms how tap water is made.

This is an opportunity to see facilities not normally accessible to the public. It is also a great opportunity for elementary school and junior high school students to do independent study during the summer holidays.

Admission is free and reservations are not necessary.
