DLNR: Adoption of the Pearl Harbor Water Shortage Plan

H

Hawai’i Department of Land and Natural Resources issued the following announcement on Dec. 21.

To protect the health of Oahu’s largest drinking water source during  times of temporary water shortage, the Commission on Water Resource  Management (CWRM) adopted the Pearl Harbor Water Shortage Plan at its  August 18, 2020 meeting. The plan identifies the actions that CWRM and  water use permit holders will take if a water shortage is declared in  the Pearl Harbor Aquifer Sector Area. These actions include reducing  pumping from wells and increasing hydrologic data collection from CWRM’s  monitor well network.

If CWRM declares a water shortage, reduced pumping from wells may  impact water system customers in Pearl Harbor. Anyone who is encouraged  to review the plan and submit comments to CWRM. Comments will be  accepted until January 15, 2021 and should be mailed to the Commission  on Water Resource Management, Hawai‘i Department of Land and Natural  Resources, PO Box 621, Honolulu, Hawaii 96809, or email: dlnr.cwrm@hawaii.gov, or fax 808-587-0219.
