DOW to host informational meeting for Hanapepe — Ele'ele Water System
Reorganization and Improvements Construction Project on August 1
HANAPEPE — The Department of Water (DOW) is hosting an informational meeting for the upcoming
Reorganization and Improvements Construction Project for the Hanapepe-Ele'ele Water System on
Wednesday, August 1st from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., at the Hanapepe Neighborhood Center.
The Hanapepe-Ele'ele Water System Reorganization and Improvements Construction Project is part of the
DOW's Water Plan 2020, a comprehensive long-range plan that addresses the need to upgrade aging
infrastructures on Kaua'i. Work will include installation of a 16-inch main line along Kaumuali'i Highway, a
new 6-inch main line replacement on Hanapepe Road and installing appurtenances that will include an
additional 12-inch and 8-inch main lines, connections to existing waterlines, new service laterals, newvalves,
new fire hydrants, an emergency pump connection, and other restoration and repaving work.
"This project will improve service areas in old Hanapepe Town and address the current and future needs of
the Hanapepe-'Ele'ele water system," said Dustin Moises, DOW's chief of construction management. "The
DOW worked with the community to complete the planning and design phase over the past few years and
we encourage residents and businesses to attend this informational meeting to learn more about the
upcoming construction phase and discuss any concerns with our contractor, DOW staff and consultants."
Work will begin this September, with anticipated completion in July 2019.
Auxiliary aids, services and materials in an alternate format are available upon request and should be made
no later than five working days prior to the meeting.
To request these services or for more information please email jkaohelaulii@kauaiwater.org or call the
Department of Water at 245-5461.
