[Seminar] Hamamatsu City: Status of Public-Private Partnership in Sewerage Projects, Implementation Effects and Challenges

<Tokyo Event> - Background of the Introduction of the Concession System, Organizational Structure, Monitoring

Our company will hold a business seminar. Hamamatsu City, taking advantage of the merger of 12 municipalities, received the largest regional sewerage project in Shizuoka Prefecture from the prefecture on April 1, 2016. In order to address the challenges of people, goods, and money during the transfer, we considered introducing public-private partnership methods, and as a solution to the most pressing issue of labor shortages, we implemented comprehensive private outsourcing at Level 3 for two years from fiscal year 2016 to 2017. Then, starting in fiscal year 2018, we introduced Japan's first concession system for sewerage projects. Now in the seventh year since the introduction of the concession system, the project is progressing smoothly. This seminar will provide a detailed account of the background of the introduction, the innovations at the time of implementation, the status of monitoring, the effects of the introduction, and the challenges that have emerged, serving as a reference for municipalities and private companies considering the introduction of public-private partnership methods. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: February 4 (Tuesday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minami Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Speaker: Hamamatsu City Sewerage Facilities Division, Waterworks and Sewerage Department Director Katsumi Suzuki *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
