Update from the Department of Water regarding 2 wells down in North Kohala
The Department of Water Supply (DWS), County of Hawai‘i, has two of its 3 North Kohala wells inoperable. A thorough investigation into the cause of the problems needs to be completed before an approximate repair timeframe can be determined. DWS is working to expedite the repairs of both wells and bring them back online as quickly as possible to prevent any water service disruptions to customers. While DWS is still providing a continuous supply of safe drinking water to affected customers, those customers are being asked to reduce their water use by 10 percent until the water system is returned to full production. DWS sincerely appreciates their cooperation and patience.
