Maui Council committee sends Waiʻōhuli wells water agreement to full Council
The Maui County Council’s Water and Infrastructure Committee voted 7-0 Monday to recommend passage of Bill 97 (2026), which would authorize the county Department of Water Supply to enter into an agreement with the state Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to develop three new groundwater wells in Waiʻōhuli and a transmission system to serve homestead housing for Native Hawaiians. The bill now moves to the full Council for further consideration.
