Water supply was disrupted in areas of Japan’s east coast after the country was hit by an 8.9-magnitude earthquake, its strongest on record.
The Japan Water Works Association is gathering information from prefectures across the country on water supply condition and may release the results through the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare within two days, said Takumi Kato, a spokesman at the Tokyo-based association. The number of households affected has yet to be confirmed, he said.
