Haneda Airport provides bottled water after construction severs mains

Water supplies at the domestic terminals of Haneda Airport in Tokyo were cut on Wednesday morning due to construction work, according to the operator of the terminal buildings.

Disruptions to the water supply began around 9 a.m. in two domestic terminals, affecting restaurants and restrooms, Japan Airport Terminal Co. said.

Water was restored to Terminal 1 from around noon, but was still suspended in Terminal 2 as of noon. Overall flights and the international terminal were unaffected.

In a conflicting report, a body commissioned by the central government to provide water to the airport said that the water supply was stopped after quality abnormalities were detected.

Water bottles were provided in the restrooms for travelers to wash their hands throughout the morning.
