Crews work to repair 20-inch water main break in Waimanalo

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) — The Board of Water Supply reported a water main break on Hihimanu Street between Makulama Street and Ahiki Street.

BWS officials are asking some Waimanalo residents to continue conserving water as crews work to repair a 20-inch main after discovering a second leak.

The break has lowered reservoir levels serving parts of Waimanalo, leaving some customers from the Hihimanu Street area to Sea Life Park with little to no water pressure.

Residents who still have service are urged to limit use to essential needs such as cooking, cleaning and personal hygiene.

Water wagons are available at:

• Hanahulu Place
• 41-616 Puha St.
• 41-133 Hulu St.
• 41-209 Ilauhole St.

Officials said an 8-inch water main break at the Waikiki Banyan Tree community on Haleiki Place has been repaired, but full restoration depends on completion of the 20-inch repair and reservoir recovery.
