[GW Water Shortage] Emergency Water Trucks Deploy for Drought; Supporting Nagano Campground Tourism During Long Holiday

Swing Co., Ltd. (President: Masaki Yasuda; HQ: Minato-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter 'Swing') and Mizumirai Komoro (President: Tomohiro Togo; HQ: Komoro City, Nagano) have begun providing support for drinking water supply by lending disaster-relief water trucks to Komadeike Campground in Sakuho Town, Nagano, starting April 28, 2026. This initiative addresses the water shortage occurring right before the large consecutive holidays (Golden Week) when many visitors are expected.

### Background and Situation At Komadeike Campground, a drought prevented the withdrawal of groundwater—the campground's water source—just before the start of the season. With an expected surge in guests during Golden Week, the campground was forced to limit reservations, raising concerns about the impact on business. In response, Mizumirai Komoro received a request from Sakuho Town. Consequently, it was decided to lend the campground a water truck owned by Swing and deployed at Mizumirai Komoro for disaster situations.

At Komadeike Campground, water supply activities have already begun through other means, and operations and reservations have resumed. The support from Mizumirai Komoro starting April 28 will contribute to the stable operation of the campground throughout the Golden Week period.

### Overview of Support - **Content:** Lending of one drinking water truck (max capacity 2,000L). - **Location:** Yachiyo Kogen Komadeike Campground (2049-858 Yachiyo, Sakuho-machi, Minamisaku-gun, Nagano). - **Period:** April 28 to May 29, 2026.

### Swing's 'Water Support' Initiatives The water truck deployed this time is part of Swing's equipment for delivering water to affected areas during disasters. Following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake on January 1, 2024, Swing has been building a 'Water Support Operation System' to prepare for long-term water outages. Recognizing that restoring centralized facilities like purification plants is sometimes insufficient to reach every citizen, Swing categorizes direct delivery of water to citizens using portable purification units and water trucks as 'Regional Support.'

This system integrates equipment expansion, decentralized stockpiling, cooperation for transport and installation, a quick-response network of field engineers, and a permanent Disaster Response Office. This deployment demonstrated that disaster-ready equipment can function effectively not only during disasters but also for daily challenges like droughts.

### Future Outlook Swing believes in building a 'Phase-free' society that seamlessly connects peacetime and disaster times. By maintaining disaster equipment for daily operations, the company aims to realize a society where water can be delivered even during outages. Swing will continue to deepen cooperation between industry, government, and academia to foster regional mutual support systems and resilient water infrastructure.
