#water restrictions maui

Customers in Kahului, Wailuku, Waihee, Paia, Kihei, Wailea, and Makena are asked to reduce water usage all day Tuesday, July 15 as water production will be limited until a new well is connected to the water system.

The wet season outlook for Maui County calls for some drought recovery, according to a forecast released by the National Weather Service for the period of October 2013 to April 2014.

Recent heavy rains and forecasts calling for more wet weather, prompted a cancellation today of the 20% voluntary water restriction that was in place for Upcountry water customers.

If the Department cannot maintain reservoir levels, officials say customers may be required to cut back water usage by 10%. Officials say dry weather conditions continue as well as low flows at water reservoirs.
