戦争で明石の水道施設は大きな被害を受け、市内では時間給水を実施していました。山下浄水場は神大附小の北隣に作られ、昭和24 年より昭和41年まで稼動しました。小学校の北、西、南の水路に残る赤い色は金気の水跡かも知れません。
21.Did red water come from Yamashita Water Purification Plant?
The water works of Akashi City were damaged much by World War Ⅱ and people underwent time water supply. Yamashita Water Purification Plant was built on the north of Kobe University Affiliated Akashi Elementary School and was in operation from 1949 to 1966. The red color left in the water ways on the north, west and south of the school may be the trace of water contained iron.
