Water conservation request for Hanalei and ‘Anini areas ongoing

Department of Water customers in the Hanalei Community and ʻAnini Beach areas remain under a water conservation request due to a mechanical failure on the water system’s pump station.

The pump station went down on April 4, which impacted the system’s water storage supply. County officials are working to secure the necessary equipment and contractor services to conduct the emergency work.

Customers are advised to continue limiting water use to essential needs only to avoid a full water service outage. Water conservation measures include turning off appliances and fixtures that automatically draw water such as ice machines and irrigation systems and refraining from car washing.

Weekly notices will continue to be provided via the Wireless Emergency Notification System, the County’s emergency notification system. To sign up, visit www.kauai.gov/KEMA and click “Notification Services.”
