7:30 a.m. DOW update —Kapa'a water tank levels remain low, water conservation
notice continues for all customers
KAPAA — The Department of Water (DOW) urges customers in Kapa'a to minimize water use until
further notice. Water storage tank levels in the Kapa'a water system have reported lower -than -
normal operating levels and may not be able to keep up with water service demand throughout
the day, especially during peak hours. Low water storage tank levels can affect water services
causing low water pressure and water service outages. DOW officials will continue to monitor the
system's operations in an effort to maintain water services for Kapa'a customers.
As DOW officials continue water system assessments island wide, customers are reminded that
during and after severe weather conditions, DOW may shut off valves and isolate water tanks to
reduce the risk of damage, conduct emergency repairs or to prevent water loss.
The water conservation notice remains in place for all DOW customers until further notice.
Customers are asked to continue water conservation measures in an effort to maintain water
services where available until electrical power, system repairs and well site functions can be
restored to normal, island wide. Water conservation measures include limiting water use to
essential uses only; such as cooking, drinking and sanitation purposes.
An update will be provided as soon as new information becomes available
