Emergency water service shutdown and conservation request issued
for customers on Kuamoo Road in Wailua
WAILUA—The Department of Water (DOW) has issued an emergency water service shutdown notice
for customers located along a portion of Kuamoo Road in Wailua from Opaekaa Road to Paako
Street; including Kuhoho Street, Aleo Street, Lihau Street, Iliki Street, Hie Street, Molo Street and
Alahele Street. Water service will be turned off today, February 12th from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in order
to conduct emergency repairs to a recent 8-inch water main line break in the area. Additionally, a
partial one -lane road closure will be in place near the intersection of Kuamoo Road and Opaekaa
Road for the duration of the repairs.
During a water shutdown, affected customers are advised to take the following steps:
• Store enough water to meet your needs during the shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during
the shutdown.
• Notify family, friends and neighbors that may be affected by the shutdown.
• After the water main is turned back on, air and or existing sediment may be mixed into
the water causing it to appear white or discolored. This is normal, and if it occurs,
customers may flush water out through an outside hose bib until the water is clear.
• To monitor updates online, visit www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW.
A water conservation request has also been issued to all customers located north of Paako Street,
along Kuamoo Road including all connecting roads during the service shutdown. Customers are
asked to limit water consumption to essential uses only.
For more information, please call the Department of Water at 245-5461.
