Higashi-Murayama Purification Plant
The Higashi-Murayama Water Purification Plant is a water facility located in Higashi-Murayama, Tokyo.
Service Area: Shinjuku-ku, Bunkyo-ku, Shibuya-ku, Nerima-ku, Parts of Suginami-ku, Nakano-ku, Toshima-ku, Kyose City, Higashi Kurume City, Nishi Tokyo City, Kokubunji City, Koganei City, Kunitachi City, Fuchu City, Chofu City, Komae City, Nino City, Tama City, Inagi City, Mitaka City, Higashi Murayama City, Kodaira City, Tachikawa City, most of Machida City and easter parts of Hachioji City
Overview
Water began passing through the purification plant on August 16, 1960. Source water is introduced into the system from the Tama River and Tone River. The facility was constructed as part of the second water supply expansion project known as the "Tokyo Big Four water purification plant," (Kanamachi Asaka,Tamagawa and Higashi-Murayama Water Purification Plants). Located on Sayamakyuuryou just 1 km from Higashi-Murayama Station of the Seibu Shinjuku and Seibu Kokubunji lines the Higashi-Murayama facility commands a view of the northwestern part of the Murayama Chosuichi (Lake Tamako).
The Asaka Water Treatment plant and the Higashi-Murayama Treatment Plants are connected to the Tone River. Untreated water flows to each treatment facility in order. The system is flexible enough to reverse flow to send water from the Tama River to the Asaka Treatment Plant. As the plant is located at a higher altitude than the service area the natural flow of water can be used as a backup facility to send water to a large area even in the event of a power outage or large regional earthquake disaster.
The facility was the first site developed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Goverment Bureau of Waterworks for the cogeneration of electricity in conjunction with solar, hydro and wind power. However, the wind turbine that is on site is old and undersized and has not produced a significant amount of electricity.
In February 2001, the facility achieved ISO14001 certification. The official name of government department responsible for overseeing the facility is "The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Clean Water Management Higashimurayama Office". The office oversees the the Kosaku Water Treatment Plant, the Sakai Water Treatment Plant, the Tamagawa Water Treatment Plant, the Nagasawa Water Treatment Plant and the Kinuta Water Treatment Plant.and the Yamaguchi Chosuichi (Lake Sayama).

東村山浄水場
東村山浄水場は、東京都東村山市にある東京都水道局の浄水場である。
給水区域 新宿区、文京区、渋谷区、練馬区、杉並区の一部、中野区、豊島区、の全域、清瀬市、東久留米市、西東京市、国分寺市、小金井市、国立市、府中市、調布市、狛江市、日野市、多摩市、稲城市の全域、三鷹市、東村山市、小平市、立川市、町田市の大部分、八王子市の東部
概要
1960年（昭和35年）8月16日に通水。原水は多摩川及び利根川の表流水を導入。第2次水道拡張事業の一環として築造された、「東京都四大浄水場」（他は金町・朝霞・玉川各浄水場）のひとつ。西武新宿線・西武国分寺線東村山駅から南西1kmに位置し、西北部には村山貯水池（多摩湖）・山口貯水池（狭山湖）のある狭山丘陵を望む。
同浄水場は朝霞浄水場と原水連絡管で結ばれており、利根川系原水の順送により大量の浄水処理が可能である。また多摩川系原水を朝霞浄水場に逆送して相互に融通する事も出来る。比較的標高の高い場所に位置しているので、区部へは自然流下で送水しており、広域大規模停電時や震災時のバックアップ施設としての役割も有している。
東京都水道局初のコージェネレーションシステムとして常用発電設備が導入され、太陽光発電や水力発電、風力発電等のエネルギー利用が多いという特色を持つ。ただし風力発電は旧式かつ小規模な風車しか持たず、立地条件の悪さと相まって、さしたる効果は得られていない。
2001年（平成13年）2月、ISO14001取得。正式部署名は「東京都水道局東村山浄水管理事務所」。同浄水管理事務所は小作浄水場、境浄水場、玉川浄水場、長沢浄水場、砧浄水場も統括。
