Water services update for Weke Road customers in Hanalei
HANALEI — The Department of Water (DOW) has completed partial repairs to the damaged main
line along Weke Road minimizing the affected service area and restoring water to additional
customers between Pilikoa Street and the Makai-end of Weke Road. The affected water service
outage on Weke Road has been updated to include customers located along the Makai-end of
Weke Road near Black Pot Beach only, until further notice. Additionally, DOW would like to clarify
for all Hanalei customers, including customers located on Weke Road, that water is safe and
customers may continue to resume normal water use. Officials completed the water quality
assessment this afternoon at approximately 4 p.m., this afternoon which confirmed that the water
quality remained safe in accordance with safe drinking water standards.
As a courtesy to Weke Road customers who continue to experience a water service outage, a
trailer -mounted water tank with potable water is available at the intersection of Pilikoa Street and
Weke Road. Customers must bring their own water containers.
Updates affecting water services will be provided as DOW crews continue to conduct damage
assessments, routine water samplings, maintenance and repairs of its water systems around the
island.
