HANAPEPE – The Department of Water (DOW) announces a water service shutdown for customers located
on a portion of Hanapepe Road; between Ko Road and Hana Road, and includes approximately 4 customers

Customers located in the affected area are advised to prepare for the service shutdown by taking the
following steps:
Store enough water to meet your needs until water service can be restored.
Notify family, friends and neighbors of the scheduled shutdown.
Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during the
