The Department of Water is extending a water conservation request for residents in the Ha‘ena and Wainiha areas until mid-September, according to a county news release.
The extension is being issued to allow the Department’s contractor Unlimited Construction to continue rehabilitation work on the existing 100,000 gallon Ha‘ena tank and the Wainiha booster pump station.
Area residents are asked to continue to conserve water and restrict water consumption to essential uses. Essential uses include: cooking; bathing; and toilet flushing.
Water conservation measures include: refraining from car washing; reducing outdoor irrigation; and using water wisely indoors and outdoors.
With the limited capacity of the smaller temporary tanks that are currently providing water service to the affected areas, conservation is necessary to avoid outages.
Residents in the Ha‘ena and Wainiha areas are also asked to notify their neighbors of the water conservation notice and encourage their participation.
The Department of Water thanks residents and visitors in these areas for conserving water and for their patience while the work is being done.
This project is part of Water Plan 2020, DOW’s plan to replace or repair aging infrastructure.
For more information, please call the Department of Water at 245-5461 during business hours, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For emergencies after hours, call Police Dispatch at 241-1711.
