Additional sewer system smoke testing to be performed in
Waimea, Hanapepe this week
WAIMEA and HANAPEPE — The public is advised that the Wastewater Management
Division will perform additional smoke testing on its Waimea sewer collection system on June 6,
from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., as well as its Hanapepe sewer collection system on June 7, from 8
a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
The Waimea neighborhood includes Haina Road, Kala`i Onamanu Street, Keolewa
Street, Keahi Road, Hahai Street and Hahai Place. The Hanapepe Heights neighborhood
includes Moi Road, Kane Road, Ali`i Road, Eleu Road, Mokihana Road, Koko Road and AN
Road.
The smoke testing performed in Waimea on Monday, June 3, was performed faster than
anticipated. This allows the Division to perform additional smoke testing on its sewer collection
system.
Smoke testing uses a non -toxic smoke and is helpful in identifying areas where
infiltration/inflow (storm water entering the sewer main) is occurring. The tests will consist of
approximately 20 minutes of work at each manhole in the area.
Traffic control, using flaggers, will be implemented in the work areas.
Motorists should drive with caution, expect delays, and adjust their travel times as
needed.

Works at 808-241-4083 or via email at jkagimoto(c�kauai.gov.
