Overview
- Prefectural authorities reported a major leak from a 1967 conduit in Ogimi that channels dam water, warning of potential outages across 17 municipalities beginning around midday.
- Municipalities including Nakagusuku and Kadena asked residents to curb use, while Naha activated its disaster response unit and posted neighborhood-level guidance on possible cutoffs.
- In Nanjo, water levels at 12 distribution reservoirs dropped sharply, with capacity that would last only three to four hours at normal use and localized shutdowns possible from around 5 p.m.
- Okinawa Urban Monorail suspended toilet use at all Yui Rail stations from noon due to insufficient supply, and a prefectural road at the rupture site collapsed and was closed.
- The enterprise bureau has no firm restoration timetable and is exploring alternate routing with the earliest relief expected Nov. 25, while areas such as Ginowan, Nago, Chatan and Motobu are currently assessed as unaffected.
