Water conservation notice lifted for Hanalei

Update at 10:43 a.m. April 30: The water conservation notice issued last night for Hanalei has been lifted. The Kaua‘i County Department of Water reports water tank levels are stabilized and customers can resume normal water use.

Original story: Water customers in Hanalei have been asked to conserve until further notice because of low water storage tank levels.

The Kaua‘i County Department of Water issued the water conservation notice for those customers at about 10 p.m. Saturday, April 29. The low water levels are attributed to a severely damaged hydrant in the area. Some customers also could be experiencing low water pressure to no water service.

Customers are advised to limit water use to essential needs only and keep toilet flushing to a minimum. Additional water conservation measures include turning off fixtures that automatically draw water such as irrigation systems and ice machines.

Water Department crews are monitoring tank levels and an update will be posted when the conservation notice is lifted. To monitor updates online, click here.
