6 P.M., August 26, Final DOW Update:
Water services restored to Haena-Wainiha residents
HAENA — The Department of Water (DOW) has completed water system assessments of the Haena-
Wainiha water systems as of approximately 5:30 p.m. today, and have restored water services to the
affected customers in Haena. All customers may now resume normal water use.
Customers should be advised that when the water main is turned back on, air and or existing sediment
may be mixed into the water causing it to appear white or milky. This is normal and if it occurs,
customers may flush water out from an outside hose bib until the water runs clear.
There are no additional DOW-issued notices in place at this time.
DOW also announces that its administrative offices will be open during normal business hours on
Monday, August 27.
DOW thanks all customers for their patience and cooperation during the recent emergency weather
events.
