Japan's health ministry says at least 1.6 million households are still without water after Friday's massive earthquake and tsunami.
As of Wednesday, the water was still off in 320,000 households in Fukushima Prefecture, 290,000 households in Miyagi, 110,000 households in Iwate, and 670,000 households in Ibaraki.
The water shortages may increase, as communication lines are still down in some of the devastated areas.
The health ministry has dispatched 309 water trucks to areas where large numbers of people are without water.
