Residents of the Wailuku Heights area are asked to conserve water until tomorrow morning due to a water shortage and in some cases no water in the area.

The Water department is working to refill the Waiale Tank after completing repairs earlier today to a broken water valve. Because Wailuku Heights is at a higher elevation, and last on the line, it is most affected by the restoration of water pressure.

The county department of water supply hopes to have the tank refilled by tomorrow morning. In the meantime, residents of the Wailuku Heights area are asked to conserve water.
