Water Conservation Requested For Entire Kalaheo Area

Water Conservation Requested For Entire Kalaheo Area

The Department of Water (DOW) has issued an immediate water conservation request for all Kalaheo residents until further notice, due to a power outage affecting the Kalaheo well site. Residents and businesses are asked to limit water consumption to essential uses only, in order to avoid a water outage.

Electrical outages disrupt the DOW’s well pumping sites, and water conservation is requested for the entire Kalaheo area in order to avoid stored water to deplete overnight.

Essential water uses include cooking, bathing and toilet flushing. Water conservation measures include refraining from car washing, turning off automatic outdoor irrigation and sprinkler systems, and using water wisely both indoors and outdoors.

The DOW thanks all residents and visitors for their patience and cooperation.

Updates will be provided when new information becomes available. Kalaheo residents should continue water conservation measures until the request is lifted.
