Effective immediately and until further notice, the Department of Water Supply (DWS) has issued a  Water Restriction Notice for all customers in the affected areas.  A Water Restriction Notice requires affected customers to reduce water use by at least 25 percent. 

A Water Restriction is necessary to maintain water in its upper storage tank while DWS locates a possible main break and then repairs it.

Performing the following steps will help to reduce water use:

• Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes
• Check faucets and pipes for leaks
• Do not let water run when washing hands, shaving, or brushing teeth
• Reduce showering times

Status updates will be issued as necessary and made available on the DWS’ website, www.hawaiidws.org.

To reach the DWS, please call (808) 961-8050 during normal business hours, (808) 961-8790 for after-hour emergencies, or email: dws@hawaiidws.org.

The Department of Water Supply thanks affected customers for their understanding.
