The Hawaii County Department of Water Supply has issued a water conservation notice for customers in South Kona
The department Monday afternoon advised customers in the Honalo, Kainaliu, Keei, Kealakekua, Napoopoo, Honaunau and Hookena to conserve water.
“This use restriction results from unexpected equipment malfunctions and will remain in place until further notice. Customers at higher elevations may experience low to no water pressure,” the department said in a media release. Watering of lawns, irrigation of ground cover, washing of vehicles and other unnecessary water uses should be stopped immediately.
Water spigots are located at Yano Hall, Honaunau Rodeo grounds, and the Hookena junction for the public’s use.
The department said crews are working to fix the equipment.
