On Thursday, February 24, water service will be temporarily turned off along South Point Road, and all connecting side streets in Kaʻu between 9am and 2pm in order to change a 4-inch transite main to ductile iron

Upon resumption of water service, the waterlines will be flushed and cleaned during which time customers may notice turbid and/or discolored water in addition to trapped air in their plumbing, which will be released as they initially use water.

Affected customers are asked to take any and all precautions necessary to protect their property and facilities including, but not be limited to, disabling electrical power to pumps and/or any other devices whose normal operation may be dependent on water pressure and/or water supply, and which might be harmed if automatically energized during the water shut-off.

Any questions can be directed to  Mr. Carl Nishimura, District Supervisor, at (808) 961-8790
