Immediate water conservation request issued for Hanalei, ‘Anini areas

A mechanical failure Friday at Kaua’i County’s pump station serving the Hanalei and ‘Anini areas forced the county Department of Water to issue an immediate water conservation notice to customers in those areas.

Customers are advised to limit their water use to essential needs only until further notice to avoid a water service outage.

Conservation measures include:

• Turning off appliances and fixtures that automatically draw water such as ice machines and irrigations systems.
• Limiting water use to sanitation needs, cooking or drinking.
• Refraining from recreational water uses.

An update will be provided when new information is available.
