A business commencement ceremony for the "Ube City Public Sewerage Western Treatment District Operation Project" (hereinafter "this project"), contracted by Ube City to the Special Purpose Company (SPC) "Ube Aqua Front Co., Ltd." (hereinafter "Ube Aqua Front") represented by Metawater Co., Ltd. (President: Kenji Yamaguchi, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), was held on April 1st at the Civic Exchange Building of Ube City Hall. The ceremony was attended by approximately 50 relevant personnel, including Mayor Keiji Shinozaki of Ube City.
In this project, a "concession method" is introduced for the operation and maintenance management of the facilities. Over a long period of 30 years, Ube Aqua Front aims to promote operational efficiency by leveraging the technology and ingenuity unique to private companies, aiming for a sustainable and stable operation of the sewerage business. Furthermore, it will actively work on reducing environmental burdens to realize a decarbonized society by utilizing power generation using digestion gas generated from sewage sludge and off-site solar power generation.
Ube Aqua Front will take root in the local community as an infrastructure company supporting Ube City and play a part in the city's sewerage business. As its representative company, we will utilize the business operation know-how cultivated through numerous past Public-Private Partnership (PPP/PFI) project contracts, and will support the business operation while closely collaborating with Ube City and each constituent company.
