Installation of North Kona Hualalai Deepwell Pump to Begin

The pump for Hualalai Deepwell in North Kona is now on-island and installation will begin immediately.

In addition, water tankers and drinking water stations have been situated within the affected area for the public’s use.

Repairs to the deepwells in North Kona remain a top priority for the Hawai‘i Department of Water Supply.

The North Kona Water Restriction remains in effect.

All residents in North Kona must continue to restrict water use to health and safety needs (drinking, cooking, and hygiene purposes).

Due to your efforts to restrict water use, water levels in the tanks have remained stable.

Therefore, limited hand watering of precious plants is now allowed under the current Emergency Water Restriction.

All other irrigation is prohibited.
