Due to unexpected equipment failure, a water conservation request is issued for all Department of Water Supply customers in the Kalapana, Puna, area until further notice.
DWS is currently hauling drinking water to meet customers’ water needs. Updates will be issued as necessary and may be viewed at www.hawaiidws.org.
Water conservation calls for a voluntary 10% usage reduction. Performing the following steps will help to conserve water and reach the 10% goal:
Wash only full loads of laundry and dishes
Check faucets and pipes for leaks
Do not let water run when washing hands, shaving, and brushing teeth
Reduce showering times
Use water-saving devices whenever possible
Use a broom instead of a water hose when gathering leaves and grass clippings
Additional ways to conserve water can be found at online.
