News Release
For Immediate Release: December 26, 2019
Water conservation request lifted for Hanalei customers and remains in
effect for Kilauea customers
HANALEI —The Department of Water has lifted the water conservation request for customers in
Hanalei as of 7:15 a.m., today. DOW crews were able to gain access to the Hanalei pump
station and repair electrical power issues to the pump and customers may now resume normal
water use.
The water conservation request continues for Kilauea customers. DOW crews are working with
Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative (KIUC) to repair an electrical problem affecting our Kilauea
pumps. Residents and businesses in Kilauea are asked to limit water use to essential needs only;
such as drinking, cooking and sanitation purposes, 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.
