Water conservation request issued for all DOW customers until further notice
LIHUE — The Department of Water (DOW) has issued a water conservation request for all customers until
further notice, due to electrical power outages affecting multiple well sites and system functions, as a result
of the recent weather conditions. The water conservation notice is in place as a precautionary measure and
all customers are asked to limit water use to essential uses only; such as cooking, consumption and
sanitation purposes, in order to avoid a full water service outage.
DOW personnel will continue to monitor and assess its water systems island wide, in an effort to maintain
water services to all customers until electrical power and well site functions can be restored to normal.
Water conservation measures include refraining from car washing, turning off fixtures and appliance
features that automatically draw water; such as automatic ice machines and outdoor irrigation systems, and
using water wisely. Customers are asked to continue water conservation measures until DOW has lifted the
conservation notice.
