Please be careful about solicitations such as inspection and cleaning of drainage facilities in residential land

Recently, there have been an increasing number of cases of contractors visiting residential areas as if they were commissioned by the city or the Bureau of Sewerage of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, and recommending inspections and cleaning of drainage facilities in residential areas.
Drainage equipment in residential land is owned by an individual, and maintenance is the responsibility of the owner.
Some of them use expressions such as "I was requested by the city hall" or "It is specified by law." We never outsource to such contractors.
In addition, in the Tama area, there have been incidents in which contractors visited and recommended cleaning and repair of drainage equipment, and if they refused, they were intimidated or forced to sign a contract with words that sounded like blackmail.
If you do not need inspections or cleaning, clearly decline, and if you have any doubts, please contact the Inagi City Sewerage Division.
