The conservation request was issued the evening of Aug. 13 because of ongoing challenges in fully restoring water service in the area following a recent water main break.

Original post at 9:17 p.m. Aug. 13, 2025: Kauaʻi County Department of Water has announced an immediate water conservation request — in effect until further notice — for residents on the entire makai side of Kaumualiʻi Highway in Kalāheo.

A recent water main break in the area caused ongoing challenges in fully restoring water service.

Customers are advised to limit their 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.

Customers are advised to monitor service updates online at the Water Department website.
