Water will be turned off from 8 a.m. to noon on Ali‘i Drive between Ali‘i Lani Townhomes, Ali‘i Point Subdivision, including Kona by the Sea, Kona Riviera Villa and Ali‘i Gardens Marketplace.

Upon the 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.
