DOW to resume emergency repairs
KILAUEA – The Department of Water (DOW) announces a 4 hour water shutdown for customers located
on Anini Road in Kilauea, to resume the emergency repairs from last night’s main line break. Water will be

appropriate repairs to the line.
During a water shutdown, affected customers are advised to take the following steps:
Store enough water to meet your needs during the shutdown.
