Summary

"A massive underground water leak early Wednesday disrupted supplies for 6,000 households near Kyoto's busy National Route 1. The incident was due to an aging pipe that's been deteriorating and has now caused muddy water at taps in homes. The city has dispatched seven water tanks to ensure access but some contaminated water may have entered the area, prompting residents to exercise caution."
