Water service shutdown scheduled for Ka'apuni Road in Kapa'a on
September 11-12
KAPA'A - The Department of Water (DOW) has scheduled an overnight water service
shutdown for customers located on a portion of Ka'apuni Road in Kapa'a; from Kawaihau
Road to approximately one half -mile, south of Kepano Street on Ka'apuni Road and includes
Alapaki Road. Water service will be turned off on Tuesday, September 11th from 9 p.m. to
5 a.m. on Wednesday, September 12th; weather permitting, in order to allow contractor,
Earthworks Pacific Inc., to install a new water line and service connection to the existing
system.
During a water service shutdown, affected customers are advised to take the following steps:
• Store enough water to meet your needs during the shutdown.
• Notify family, friends and neighbors that may be affected by the shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during
the shutdown.
Customers are advised that when the water mainline is turned back on, air and or existing
sediment may be mixed into the water causing it to appear white or milky at the tap. This is
normal and if it occurs, customers may flush water out from an outside hose bib until water is
clear.

in Lihue.
