WATER RESTRICTION NOTICE
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

AFFECTED AREA: HONOKA’A, AHUALOA, KALOPA, POHAKEA, UPPER PA’AUILO, KUKUIHAELE, AND KAPULENA; HAMAKUA, HAWAII

Due to the breakdown of the Haina Well pump, Department of Water Supply customers in the affected area are under a Water Restriction. The Department of Water Supply will be replenishing the Honoka’a Hospital Tank by water tankers, the Waimea-Ahualoa Water Transmission System, and/or temporary emergency use of the Honoka’a Well. Water Restriction is a call for a 25% reduction in water use. With your full cooperation, residents can be supplied with water during this emergency, which is currently estimated to last thirty (30) days.

Listed are some ways to conserve water and reach the 25% goal:
• Wash only full loads of laundry or dishes at a time.
• Check faucets and pipes for leaks.
• Keep a container of drinking water in the refrigerator.
• Do not let water run when you wash, shave, or brush your teeth.
• Reduce showering times.
• Use water-saving devices.
• Use a broom instead of a water hose for cleaning.
• Irrigate at night and with a pail for small jobs.

All agricultural users, keep water usage to a minimum. Irrigate only at night and during non-peak hours, from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Minimize dust control usage. Use water wisely.
