Outsourcing support for equipment maintenance *Efficiency improvement, labor saving

On January 12, 2018 (Friday), our efforts were featured in the Fujisankei Business Eye under the title "Strengthening Activities for the Promotion of Deep Groundwater." In addition to securing emergency water sources, we aim to further promote the "ATSS Private Water Supply System," which can provide many benefits to our customers, such as cost reduction and labor saving.

We would like to express our heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by Typhoon No. 21 and the Hokkaido Eastern Iburi Earthquake in 2018. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and heavy rains are wreaking havoc. Water outages caused by natural disasters often take a long time to fully recover, with maximum outage durations sometimes exceeding three months. Additionally, since securing drinking water and water for daily use is a priority, water outages for industrial and commercial use are expected to be prolonged. Factory shutdowns due to water outages can completely halt production activities, making BCP (Business Continuity Planning) measures essential. If there is anything we can do to assist with disaster prevention measures, such as disaster prevention wells or private water supply systems that also contribute to the community, please feel free to consult with us at any time.

To customers interested in moving from "buying water" to "producing water." The 【ATSS Private Water Supply System】 utilizes groundwater to produce water. Before the system is implemented, we will conduct a free investigation of the water source! Please fill out the following information on the hearing sheet and send it to us via fax or email. - Company name - Location of well water source investigation (address) - Contact information - Purpose of use - Average monthly water supply bill - Average monthly sewage bill Based on the information you provide, we will respond within two weeks. Investigations and consultations are free of charge. Please feel free to contact us.

Tokyo has published a report from an expert committee regarding the industrial water supply system, which it has been considering abolishing, concluding that it should be phased out. The industrial water supply began to be provided gradually from 1964. However, after 50 years of supply, the facilities have deteriorated, and the cost of updating them is estimated to be about 232.8 billion yen. On the other hand, demand has also been declining. In the fiscal year 2016, the average daily water volume dropped to about 20,000 cubic meters, which is 1/17 of the peak level. For these reasons, it seems that the decision was made to have users switch to using the water supply system. However, switching to the water supply system would result in an average increase in costs to about five times the current industrial water rates, so a transition period of 4 to 8 years will be established to mitigate the impact. 【Customers using industrial water in the Kanto area】 Would you consider drilling a well on your own premises and owning water treatment facilities such as private water systems as a measure against future industrial water price increases? 【Customers using industrial water outside the Kanto area】 It is expected that municipalities facing continued deficits will similarly consider abolishing their industrial water supply systems. Please consider introducing private water systems even outside the Kanto area.
