Water Conservation Notice Issued for North Kohala Customers
AFFECTED AREAS: HĀWĪ TO HALA‘ULA, INCLUDING PUAKEA BAY, KA‘AUHUHU
HOMESTEADS, ‘ĀINAKEA VILLAGE SUBDIVISION, AND ALL
CUSTOMERS ALONG AKONI PULE HIGHWAY, MILL ROAD, AND
MA‘ULILI ROAD; NORTH KOHALA, HAWAI‘I
Effective immediately and until further notice, a Water Conservation Notice has been issued for all
Department of Water Supply (DWS) customers in the affected areas. A Water Conservation Notice
requests affected customers reduce water use by at least 10 percent.
Due to unexpected equipment failure, water conservation is necessary because only one of the three
wells serving the region is currently operational. DWS has authorized emergency work to repair one of
the inoperable wells as soon as possible.
DWS asks customers to conserve drinking water, use it wisely, and to not waste it. Taking short
showers, fixing leaky plumbing and toilets, irrigating efficiently, and turning off the faucet while
brushing teeth are easy ways to reduce water use. To learn more ways to conserve water, please visit
the DWS website at www.hawaiidws.org, call (808) 961-8050 during normal business hours or email
dws@hawaiidws.org. For after-hours emergencies, please call (808) 961-8790.
DWS thanks affected customers for their understanding and kokua.
This is your Hawaiʻi County Department of Water Supply.
