Potable water from a fleet of tankers continues to be available for public use in Lahaina and Kula, where some areas are still under unsafe water advisories following the recent wildfires.

In Lahaina, tankers offering free, safe water are located at:

• Lower Kapunakea Street, across from the Shell station at Lahaina Cannery Mall.

• Kahoma Village Loop and Puunoa Place intersection.

• Lahaina Gateway, 325 Keawe St.

• Kanakea Place and Kaakolu Street intersection.

• Parking lot off the Lahainaluna Road and Lahaina Bypass highway intersection.

• Ainakea Road and Kaniau Road intersection.

• Parking lot on the north side of the Leialii Parkway and Hooli Street intersection.

In upper Kula, the tankers are located at:

• Kula Lodge, 15200 Haleakala Highway.

• Copp Road and Kula Road intersection.

Residents should use only clean, dedicated food-grade containers to transport water, Maui County said in a news release Wednesday. Containers that have held food can transfer odors to the drinking water and should not be used for water storage. Wash containers thoroughly with dishwashing soap, sanitize using one teaspoon of mild liquid chlorine bleach per quart of water and then rinse thoroughly. Fill containers to the top, leaving as little air as possible, then store in a cool, dark area. For more information, visit ready.gov/water.
