Water Restriction Notice Downgraded to Water Conservation Notice for Affected South Kohala Customers
AFFECTED AREAS: ĀHUALOA TO WAIEMI SUBDIVISION, INCLUDING HONOKAIA, PU‘UKAPU, NIENIE, WAIMEA TOWN, LĀLĀMILO FARM LOTS, PORTIONS OF MANA ROAD, PORTIONS OF MĀMALAHOA HIGHWAY (HWY 19), ANEKONA ESTATES, AND KĀNEHOA SUBDIVISION; SOUTH KOHALA, HAWAI‘I
Effective immediately and until further notice, the Department of Water Supply (DWS) has downgraded the Water Restriction Notice to a Water Conservation Notice for affected customers from Āhualoa to Waiemi subdivision, including Waimea town. A Water Conservation Notice requests affected customers reduce water use by at least 10 percent.
Recent rains have filled the DWS’ Waikoloa Reservoirs to a satisfactory level to allow the downgrade. However, the Waimea Well is under repair and remains offline, so water conservation is necessary to ensure all affected customers have an adequate supply of water.
This conservation notice applies only to the communities listed above. A separate Water Restriction Notice requiring higher reductions remains in effect for the Kawaihae, Kawaihae Harbor, Hapuna Beach Resort, Mauna Kea Beach Resort, Puakō, and Mauna Lani Resort areas, which are served by a different water system. Refer to DWS’ Public Notices Map at www.hawaiidws.org for details.
DWS asks customers to conserve drinking water, use it wisely, and to not waste it. Learn about water-saving tips by clicking on the “Conservation” tab at www.hawaiidws.org. For questions, please 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.
