Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

My water supply has been cut off.

Q; Why has the Bureau of Waterworks stopped it?

A; The majority of customers pay their water charges within the time limit specified. However some customers fail to pay their charges even after receiving repeated reminders.
The Bureau of Waterworks service stations try hard to get customers to pay as soon as possible by sending individual warnings and reminders, however the costs required to do so have been increasing considerably.
Our water supply business is carried out on the basis of the payment of fees we receive from customers, and we also want to treat all customers equally. So when dealing with customers who have not paid their charges, as a general rule we will cut off their water supply.

Q; My water supply has been cut off. I will pay at the end of the month, so please restart it.

A; After your water supply is cut off, we are unable to reconnect you until you have paid the entire amount of money owing.
Also, if you still do not pay after your water service is suspended, we will cancel your contract and require you to pay the full amount of charges owing by the date of cancellation.
