News Release
For Immediate Release: April 24, 2017
Water conservation requested for all Wainiha, Haena residents
WAINIHA – The Department of Water (DOW) has issued a water conservation request for all Wainiha
and Haena residents until further notice, due to a leak that is affecting the area’s storage tank. Residents
and businesses are asked to limit water consumption to essential uses only, in order to avoid a water
outage.
Essential water uses include cooking, bathing and toilet flushing. Water conservation measures include
refraining from car washing, turning off automatic sprinkler systems and outdoor irrigation, and using
water wisely both indoors and outdoors.
DOW personnel have been dispatched to make emergency repairs to the leak. Earlier this evening a
power outage also affected the area’s well and tank site. Power has since been restored.
An update will be provided on Tuesday, April 25. The DOW thanks all residents and visitors for their
patience and cooperation.
