Immediate water conservation request issued for Kalaheo customers
KALAHEO — The Department of Water (DOW) has issued an immediate water conservation
request for the Kalaheo area until further due to an electrical power outage that is affecting our
Kalaheo pump station. Due to the electrical issue, pump stations have not been able to replenish
the water supply in the Kalaheo storage tank. Residents and business are asked to limit water
use to essential needs only; such as cooking, showering and toilet flushing, in order to avoid a full
water outage.
Water conservation measures include refraining from car washing, turning off automatic irrigation
systems, ice machines and using water wisely indoors and outdoors.
