Water shut-off notice for portions of Downtown Hilo

Water will be temporarily turned off in Downtown Hilo on Haili Street from Kino‘ole Street to Kamehameha Avenue; on Kīlauea Avenue from Haili Street to Ponahawai Street; on Ponahawai Street from Kino‘ole Street to Kamehameha Avenue; and on Mamo Street from Kino‘ole Street to Punahoa Street, from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. nightly from Jan. 9 to Jan. 12, to make several waterline connections for the Keawe Street Road Reconstruction project.

Upon resumption of water service, the waterlines will be flushed and cleaned during which time you may notice turbid and/or discolored water.

You may also notice trapped air in your plumbing which will be released as you 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.

Please pardon these temporary inconveniences. If you have any questions, please call
Carl Nishimura, South Hilo District Supervisor, 808-961-8790.
