Upcountry Maui water customers are being asked to conserve water while the Kamole Water Treatment Plant undergoes upgrades, the Maui County Department of Water Supply announced.
The six- to eight-week project includes replacement membranes, a new control system and other improvements. The plant is expected to return to service in early November.
With the plant offline, water treatment capacity for the Upcountry system will be temporarily reduced. Customers are asked to limit nonessential water use, particularly outdoor irrigation, and check their properties for leaks.
The department offers free water conservation devices, including faucet aerators, leak detection tablets, water-saving showerheads, hose nozzles and hose timers. They are available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the Water Resources Division, One Main Plaza, 2200 Main St., Suite 102, Wailuku.
