STORY SUMMARY

KONA, Hawaiʻi - The 25% mandatory North Kona Water Restriction in effect since June 6 is officially downgraded to a 10% Voluntary Water Conservation, effective immediately.

(BIVN) – The Water Restriction has been lifted for the North Kona area, and replaced by a Voluntary Water Conservation.

Effective immediately, the 25% mandatory North Kona Water Restriction, that has been in effect since June 6, 2022, is officially downgraded to a 10% Voluntary Water Conservation.

Interim repairs have been made to the Kalaoa Deepwell, warranting the downgrading to voluntary conservation.

The Department would sincerely like to acknowledge the community’s efforts to reduce their water usage throughout the water restriction. MAHALO for your kokua!
