How to read drawings

Sewer pipelines (drainage facilities) inside residential areas and private roads cannot be viewed because there is no material for personal property. Please check with the owner or user of the land or carry out a field survey.

Types and functions of sewer pipelines

Combined sewer systems	(Solid line) Combined sewer: Sewer in which both sanitary sewage (including miscellaneous wastewater) and stormwater both flow
Separate sewer system	(Dotted line) Sanitary sewer: Sewer in which only sanitary sewage (including miscellaneous wastewater) flows	(Broken line) Stormwater sewer: Sewer in which only stormwater flows In separate sewer system areas, house inlets and stormwater inlets for residential drainage are necessary.

How to view the facility plan

In the facility plan, the upward direction shows North.
The arrow (←) on the sewer pipeline indicates the direction of sewage flow.
Information on sewer pipelines is stated between manholes.
Information on sewer pipelines may be displayed near the sewer pipeline or on the leader line.
The height of the ground and the pipe bottom is an elevation, being the height from the average sea level of Tokyo Bay (T.P.).

Embedment status of sewer pipeline

The height of the ground and the pipe bottom is an elevation, being the height from the average sea level of Tokyo Bay (T.P.).
Covering is the depth from the ground surface to the upper edge of the sewer pipeline.
House connection is a pipe that connects the inlet and the sewer pipeline.
(Normally, the house connection for house inlets has an inner diameter of 15 cm, and the house connection for stormwater inlets has a diameter 20 cm.)
