The project is scheduled to begin at 10 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29, and conclude at around 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, according to a county announcement.

Customers affected by the outage reportedly include those on South Kīhei Road from Kaiʻau Place to Dolphin Plaza including the following businesses and destinations: Maui Coast Hotel, WorldMark by Trendwest, Kamaole Beach Royale Resort, and Kamaole Beach Club.
