The call for water conservation in Hanalei and ‘Anini continues, according to a recent notice from the Department of Water. Since April 4, residents in the area have been asked to reduce water usage to prevent a total service outage. This includes measures such as shutting off automatic water devices and skipping non-essential water use like car washing, as reported by Kaua'i County.
The official statement released by the Department of Water emphasizes the need for continued efforts and cooperation from the community, "Customers are asked to continue water conservation efforts in order to maintain water services and avoid a full water service outage." Weekly updates on the situation are expected to be sent out via the Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS). The system, which is Kauaʻi County's emergency notification subscription service, provides timely updates to subscribers.
Residents not yet signed up for WENS can do so by visiting the Kauaʻi County emergency management website, and for those looking for more information or service updates, the Department of Waterprovides resources on their website, www.kauaiwater.org. People can also directly call the Department of Water for inquiries about the water conservation request or other concerns at 808-245-5455.
Department of Water has expressed their gratitude for the community's ongoing efforts, "DOW thanks customers for their continued conservation efforts and cooperation." As the department works on resolving the issue, no definitive end date to the water conservation request has been announced, as per Kaua'i County.
