Water service shutdown scheduled for Hanapepe area on March 19
HANAPEPE — The Department of Water (DOW) has scheduled a water service shutdown for customers
located on a portion of Puolo Road; from Hanapepe Road to Kaumuali'i Highway, including some customers
located near the intersection of Puolo Road and Kaumuali'i Highway in Hanapepe. Water service will be
turned off on Tuesday, March 19th from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Wednesday, March. 20th, weather permitting,
in order to tie-in a temporary 12-inch waterline to the existing system, as part of the Hanapepe-Ele'ele Water
Systems Improvements Project.
Customers located in the affected area are advised to prepare for the overnight service shutdown by taking
the following steps:
• Store enough water to meet your needs during the shutdown.
• Notify family, friends, tenants and neighbors that may be affected by the service shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during the
shutdown.
• Businesses should plan appropriately prior to and during a service shutdown.
• Customers are advised that when the water main is turned back on after a shutdown, air and or
existing sediment may be mixed into the water causing it to appear white or discolored. This is
normal and if it occurs, customers may flush water out from an outside hose bib until water is clear.
