Water Service Shutdown Scheduled in Wailua

The county is notifying water customers in a portion of Wailua that their service will be temporarily shutdown one day this week.

The Department of Water announced a water service shutdown is scheduled for a portion of Kamalu Road, between Opaeka’a Road and Heamoi Place, including Kololia Place, Pilikua Place and Heamoi Place, from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Thursday, July 28, weather permitting.

The shutdown is necessary to allow Kaiwa Construction Inc. to tie in a new 8-inch line to the existing system.

Customers located in the service area are advised to prepare for the shutdown by taking the following steps:

• Store water to meet needs until service is restored.
• Notify neighbors, family and friends of the shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure their water heaters do not empty during the shutdown.
