Water system upgrade to interrupt service for some customers in Kapa‘a

The Department of Water will be upgrading the water system on Wednesday in Kapa‘a, affecting the Wailua Houselots.

As a result, a water service interruption will impact a portion of Haleilio Road, Kaulana Road, and Kihei Road on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., weather permitting. During this time, affected areas will experience low pressure, and periods of no water may occur during peak usage hours.

Affected areas include:

• Portion of Haleilio Road, from the Sleeping Giant Trailhead to Kaulana Road
• Kaulana Road
• Portion of Kihei Road, from Kaulana Road to the cul-de-sac

Additional locations notified directly by county crews are one residence on Nonou Road and Opaekaʻa Falls Lookout restrooms on Kuamoʻo Road.

Customers located in the affected areas are advised to prepare by taking the following steps:

• Store enough water to meet your needs until water service is restored.
• Notify family, friends, tenants, and neighbors.
• Ensure water heaters do not empty, especially if they are faulty.
• Avoid using appliances that require water during the upgrade.
