County limits water conservation advisory to Upper Kula area only
The Maui County Department of Water Supply has lifted water conservation advisories for Molokai and all areas on Maui with the exception of the Upper Kula area from Pilikino Place to Kanaio, where a conservation advisory remains in effect due to storm-related damage.
A countywide water conservation advisory was posted Saturday due to inclement weather and potential impacts to power and electronic systems.
With conditions improved, the department said on Tuesday that conservation is no longer required for areas outside Upper Kula.
Additionally, the temporary drinking water tanks, or water buffalos, previously located at Kula Lodge have been moved to Ulupalakua Ranch Store and Grill.
Due to water main breaks caused by the storm, outages and low-water pressure are affecting parts of Kula.
Potable water tanks have been deployed to support affected residents. Crews are assessing the damage and working to complete repairs.
Water buffalos are currently available at the Ching Store, the intersection of Copp Road and Kula Highway, Von Tempsky Community Center Complex (Kula Community Center), Ulupalakua Ranch Store and Grill and Harold W. Rice Memorial Park.
Upper Kula customers may search their addresses in the map at the bottom of DWS homepage at mauicounty.gov/water to see if they are being impacted by a water main break and to find locations of water buffalos.
Customers are asked to continue limiting nonessential water use until repairs are completed and normal service is restored.
The water department may issue notifications regarding service interruptions, conservation requests, or water quality advisories through its News Flash notifications. Sign up via the County of Maui website at mauicounty.gov/list.aspx.
