Water shut-off notice: all services along ‘Apapane, Lihikai and Kēōkea Loop roads
Water will be temporarily turned off along ‘Apapane, Lihikai and Kēōkea Loop roads from 8 a.m. to noon, daily July 11 through July 12 to install valves and relocate services, according to the County of Hawai‘i Department of Water.
Upon resumption of water service, the waterlines will be flushed and cleaned during which time customers may notice turbid and/or discolored water.
Customers may also notice trapped air in their plumbing, which will be released as they initially use water.
Affected customers are asked to take any and all precautions necessary to protect the customers’ property and facilities including, but not limited to, disabling electrical power to pumps and/or any other devices whose normal operation may be dependent on water pressure and/or water supply, and which might be harmed if automatically energized during the water shut-off.
Those with questions may call Carl Nishimura, District Supervisor, at (808) 961-8790.
