This is an important Department of Water Supply (DWS), County of Hawai‘i, message for Sunday, May 4, 2025.
The Voluntary Water Conservation Notice asks North Kona water customers to reduce water use by 10 percent to help the Department maintain an adequate water supply and pressure for customers’ use while it addresses issues with electrical equipment and the water supply is being redistributed.
Water conservation is necessary because of the prolonged lack of rainfall and operational issues with Waimea well.
Status updates will be issued as necessary and made available on the DWS’ website, www.hawaiidws.org.
Performing the following steps will help to conserve water:
- 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
All affected water customers should limit water use for dust control and irrigation. Find other water-saving tips by clicking on the “Conservation” tab at 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.
