Water service outage in Haena and Wainiha
Collect rain water for non -potable water needs
HAENA —The Department of Water (DOW) announces a water service outage for Haena and Wainiha
customers until further notice. Severe weather has affected the electrical power and other working
functions of the DOW's well site and pump stations causing its tank to deplete storage capacities. There is
no current timeline for water service restoration at this time, due to the inaccessibility of the area. Affected
customers are advised to collect rain water to use for non -potable water needs.
DOW is working with the Kauai Emergency Management Agency to assess and monitor the weather
situation closely. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
