Water Service Shutdown Scheduled For Parts of Kapa‘a

The county Department of Water is notifying the public that water service will be shutdown later this month in areas of Kapa‘a.

Water service will be shut off for residents on Hau‘a‘ala Road, from Kawaihau Road and the intersection of Hau‘a‘ala and Moa Road, from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. July 19-21, weather permitting, as crews conduct mainline replacement work on a portion of Hau‘a‘ala Road. The scheduled water service shutdown will also include portions of Kawaihau Road, from Hau‘a‘ala Road to Pelehu Road and to the intersection of Pelehu Road and Nunu Road.

Customers located in the affected service area are advised to prepare for the shutdown by taking the following steps:

• Store water to meet your needs until water service is restored.
• Notify neighbors, family and friends about the scheduled shutdown.
• Those with faulty water heaters should ensure their heater does not empty during the shutdown.
• Monitor water service announcements online.

Door-to-door notices will be delivered this week to customers who will be impacted by the water service shutdown.

Additionally, intermittent lane closures could also be implemented near the work sites. Motorists are advised to adhere to flaggers who will be on site and to drive with caution when traveling through the work area.

The Department of Water will be replacing about 200 feet of water mainline in preparation for planned road improvements for the area as part of the county’s Kawaihau-Hau‘a‘ala-Mailihuna Complete Streets Project.
