Water service outage in Hanalei
Customers advised to collect rain water for non -potable water needs
HANALEI —The Department of Water (DOW) has announced a water service outage for Hanalei
customers until further notice. Severe inclement weather has affected the emergency repairs
response to the reported mainline break, causing depletion of the storage tank supply. There is
currently no available timeline for water service restoration or service repairs at this time, due to
the inaccessibility of the area. Affected customers are advised to collect and utilize rain water for
non -potable water needs.
DOW will continue to work with the Kauai Emergency Management Agency (KEMA) to monitor the
weather situation closely.
Updates will be posted as new information becomes available on the Department of water and
County of Kauai's facebook pages and can be monitored online at www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW or
