Water service shutdown scheduled for Lawa'i area on Nov. 1
LAWAI — The Department of Water (DOW) announces a water service shutdown scheduled for customers
located on a portion of Akemama Road; from Kaumuali'i Highway to the north end of Akemama Road,
including Lawaiuka Road, Paliuli Lane, Ili Road, Umauma Road and a portion of Kua Road; from Ili Road to
the north end of Kua Road in Lawa'i on Thursday, November 1, 2018 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., weather
permitting.
The 6-hour water service shutdown is necessary in order to conduct improvements to a water main line for
the Kalaheo-Lawa'i water system.
To prepare for a water service shutdown, DOW customers are advised to take the following steps:
• Store enough water to meet your needs during the service shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during the
shutdown.
• Notify family, friends and neighbors that may be affected by the shutdown.
• After 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 at the tap. This is normal, and if it occurs, customers may flush
water out through an outside hose bib until the water is clear.
• To monitor updates online, visit www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW.
Affected customers have been notified through the BlackBoard Connect notification service today. In
addition, door to door notices are scheduled to be delivered tomorrow.
To sign up to receive water service announcements via BlackBoard Connect CTY; the county's
emergency notification service, visit www.kauai.gov/KEMA.
For more information, please call the Department of Water at 245-5461.
