Effective immediately and until further notice, a Water Restriction Notice has been issued for all Department of Water Supply (DWS) customers in the affected areas. A Water Restriction Notice requires affected customers to reduce water use by at least 25 percent. Irrigation customers are
required to reduce use by at least 50 percent. These restrictions are needed due to unexpected equipment malfunctions. Reducing water use will help to maintain water levels in the storage tanks for all customers. DWS has authorized emergency work to repair one of the inoperable wells as soon as
possible.
DWS asks customers to use water wisely and to not waste it. To learn more ways to reduce water use, 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.
