Water has no substitute…
Conserve it!
News Release
For Immediate Release: May 14, 2017
Water conservation request continues for entire Kalaheo area
KALAHEO – The Department of Water’s (DOW) water conservation request remains in effect until
further notice for the entire Kalaheo area.
The DOW issued an immediate water conservation request to all residents in Kalaheo at approximately
10 p.m. on May 13, 2017 due to an electrical power outage that affected the Kalaheo well site. During
the electrical power outage, the well site and pump stations were inoperable, pending repairs by Kauai
Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC).
Electrical power has been restored to the Kalaheo well site as of 9 a.m., but the water conservation
request remains in effect to allow water tank levels to be restored to normal capacity.
Kalaheo residents and businesses are asked to continue to limit water consumption use to essential
needs only, to allow water tanks to fill and avoid a water outage.
Essential water needs include cooking, bathing and toilet flushing. Water conservation measures include
refraining from car washing, turning off automatic sprinklers and outdoor irrigation systems, and using
water wisely indoors and outdoors.
The DOW thanks all Kalaheo residents and visitors for conserving water during this time, and for their
patience while KIUC worked to restore power to the area.
Updates will be sent as new information becomes available. To monitor updates online, please visit
