Emergency Water Shut-Off Notice for Milo Street, Kea‘au Customers

AFFECTED AREAS:  ALL SERVICES ALONG MILO STREET, INCLUDING KEA‘AU MIDDLE SCHOOL AND ALL SIDE ROADS AND LANES; KEA‘AU, HAWAI‘I

Water will be temporarily turned off in the above-mentioned area from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2, 2026, to perform emergency repairs to a leaking waterline.

A DWS water tanker will be stationed for the public’s use on Milo Street at the dead end located on the west side of Kea‘au-Pahoa Bypass Road.

Affected customers are asked to take any and all precautions necessary to protect their property and facilities including, but not limited to, disabling electrical power to pumps and/or any other devices whose normal operation may be dependent on water pressure and/or water supply, and which might be damaged if automatically energized during the water shutoff.

Also, affected customers should set aside drinking water ahead of time to meet their essential water needs until normal service resumes.

Upon resumption of water service, the waterlines will be flushed and cleaned, during which time affected customers may notice turbid and/or discolored water.  Customers may also notice trapped air in their plumbing, which will be released as they initially use water.

Please pardon this temporary inconvenience. If you have any questions, please call (808) 961-8060 during normal business hours, (808) 961-8790 for after-hours emergencies, or email: dws@hawaiidws.org.
