An affluent, enjoyable
lifestyle is something that everyone aspires
to. In Hita, we are blessed with a good
environment, and citizens earnest in their
desire to protect that environment. However, as
lifestyles improve, the demands made on the
environment tend to become greater and more
varied.
In Hita, we are working
to create a pleasant, leisurely, convenient
city, and are improving the enterprises and
facilities that form an integral part of our
daily lives.

WATER SUPPLY AND
DRAINAGE
As Hita's other name,
'Waterside Hita' implies, Hita is blessed in
both the quantity and the quality of its water.
However, as urbanisation progresses and living
standards rise, it is expected that the demand
for water will grow. Thus, work is going ahead
to secure water supplies and to expand
facilities and areas supplied, based on
long-term estimates of the demand for
water.
Drainage systems, the
barometer of a city's modernity, are an
indispensable facility. In Hita, sewage is
treated through a separate sewer system, and
rainwater arteries and urban drains are being
developed for urban wastewater.
In 1984, Hita was
designated an Aquatopia (town with an ideal
water system), and since then it has been
striving to provide a waterside environment
and infrastructure in keeping with the
cityscape.

WASTE DISPOSAL
The rise in living
standards in recent years has brought about a
sudden rise in the amount and variety of
garbage. The new Waste Disposal Center has the
capacity to deal with 90 tons of garbage per
day, and operates day and night burning
combustible garbage. However, the quantity of
garbage appears to be increasing, so we are
conducting an active drive to separate garbage,
to reduce the amount generated, and to recycle
resources.
