Overnight Water Shutdown Scheduled in Kapa‘a

Water line replacement work will require water service to be shut off for customers next week in portions of Kapa‘a.

The county Department of Water announced an overnight water service shutdown to allow contractor, Grace Pacific LLC, to conduct the work. Water service will be turned off from 9 p.m.-5 a.m. April 21-22 to a portion of Hau‘a‘ala Road, from Moa Road to Keapana Road, including Makamaka Street, Keapana Road, Mailihuna Road, Silva Road, Kolohala Road and a portion of Kawaihau Road between Hau‘a‘ala Road and Nunu Road, weather permitting.

Additionally, customers located on Pelehu Road, Nunu Road, Iwaena Road, I‘iwi Road, Mimilo Road, Iwaena Loop and a portion of Kawaihau Road, from Nunu Road to Iwaena Road, can expect low water pressure during the shutdown.

Customers located within the affected area are advised to prepare by taking the following steps:

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