This is no excuse, but a result of county incompetence infested with unqualified “engineers” and employees hired for political brown nosing not merit. They should have learned from pass disruptions like Hurricane Iwa and Iniki when National Guard provided mobile generators to keep their water pumps operating.
I was on a crew that delivered and maintained a few of those generators one of which was located in the Koloa area. They knew Hurricane Lane was approaching and had amble time to prepare but didn’t. The fault lies with the mayor and all his cronies. In failing their duties to the people of Kauai, they should dock their pay, forfeit their pensions and get fired.
