Water Restriction Notice for North Kona
Effective immediately, the Department of Water Supply (DWS), County of Hawai‘i, has implemented a
mandatory 25 percent Water Restriction for customers in the following areas:
AFFECTED AREAS: MĀKĀLEI, KALAOA, KONA PALISADES, KEĀHOLE, PALAMANUI,
KALOKO, KALOKO MAUKA, HUALĀLAI, KEALAKEHE,
KEAHUOLŪ, KEŌPŪ; NORTH KONA, HAWAI‘I
Water restriction measures are needed due to the temporary loss of power in the upper North Kona area.
As of the time of this notice, Hawaiian Electric does not have an estimated timeframe for restoration of
power.
The 25% Water Restriction will preserve adequate water supplies and pressure to meet the community’s
drinking, cooking and hygiene needs. DWS will continue monitoring the water system and make
necessary adjustments. You will be kept informed of any changes in water supplies.
Please use water wisely and sparingly. Customers should refrain from irrigation, washing cars, and other
unnecessary water uses while the water restriction is in effect. Taking short showers, fixing leaky toilets,
and turning off the faucet while brushing teeth are easy ways to reduce water use.
