Completion of the Matsumae Water Purification Facility

On March 28, 2026, a ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of the Matsumae Water Purification Facility, developed through the collaborative efforts of four companies, including Suido Kiko Co., Ltd., headquartered in Setagaya, Tokyo. This facility stands as a vital component of Matsumae Town's ongoing water infrastructure improvements, specifically targeting changes in water source quality and disaster preparedness.

Collaborative Efforts

The completion of the facility was made possible through a strong partnership between multiple experts in the field. Notably, Chubu Nippon Construction Consultant handled the design aspects, while Ichinomiya Construction took charge of the building works, and Masaki Construction tackled on-site piping and site management. Through integrated teamwork, the facility is poised to serve the largest water supply area in Matsumae, specifically the Matsumae and Nishikoizumi blocks, with an impressive processing capacity of 7,550 cubic meters per day.

Advanced Filtration Technology

The water purification facility employs cutting-edge membrane filtration technology developed by Toray Industries. This innovative system effectively separates and removes impurities from the raw water, ensuring that residents receive safe, reliable water. The introduction of this membrane filtration system marks a significant advancement in the facility’s operational capabilities, particularly in response to environmental changes and large-scale disasters.

Future Endeavors

Looking ahead, Suido Kiko aims to leverage its extensive experience in water purification technology. With the integration of the latest filtration systems and backup power generators, the company is dedicated to providing high-quality water consistently, even amidst shifting water source conditions and disaster-related challenges.

Completion Ceremony Highlights

The completion ceremony saw the attendance of various stakeholders, including Kosuke Tanaka, the Mayor of Matsumae Town. The event featured a ceremonial tape-cutting where Suido Kiko's President, Toru Furukawa, expressed appreciation toward the collaboration between all parties involved. Furukawa highlighted the importance of the facility in creating a resilient water supply system capable of withstanding potential future challenges, such as variations in water quality and the risk of major earthquakes.
