'Do not drink' advisory issued for customers located on a portion of Weke
Road in Hanalei
HANALEI —The Department of Water (DOW) has issued a 'do not drink' advisory for customers
located along a portion of Weke Road, from Pilikoa Street to the Makai-end of Weke road towards
Black Pot Beach in Hanalei. DOW crews have repaired a portion of a damaged main line to restore
water to the affected area, however due to the exposure to the service lines from recent damage,
residents along the described portion of Weke Road in Hanalei are advised not to drink or cook
with tap water, as a precautionary measure, until further notice.
DOW urges residents to please share this information with other residents and guests that reside in
the affected portion of Weke Road in Hanalei, especially with those who may not have received this
notice directly (for example, people without power or access to media updates, residents that do
not receive Blackboard Connect notices, etc.)
DOW will continue to work on assessing the damages and affects to the water system in the area to
determine whether to continue this advisory.
An update will be issued as new information becomes available. To monitor updates online visit the
Department of Water and County of Kauai's facebook pages at www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW and
