Waimalu sewers being renovated
The city has launched a two-year, $45 million renovation and reconstruction project of the Waimalu sewer system near Pearl City.
Most of the sewer lines were built in the mid- to late 1950s and are in poor condition because of ground settlement, the city said in a news release.
Crews will replace 5,820 linear feet of sewer lines over 27 months by conventional open-cut trench methods. About 630 linear feet of new lines will be installed using a trenchless micro-tunneling method, the city said.
Affected streets in the area mauka of Waimalu Shopping Center include Hekaha Street, from Kamehameha Highway to Pahemo Street; Lokowai Street; Olepe Loop; Lii-Ipo Street; and parts of Kanuku Street.
Money for the project includes about $7.4 million in federal stimulus funds through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and state Health Department, the city said.
KCC, UH-West Oahu link programs
An agreement should make it easier for a student studying to become a paramedic at Kapiolani Community College to get a bachelor's degree from the University of Hawaii-West Oahu.
Students working toward a two-year degree at the community college's Mobile Intensive Care Technician program can enroll at the same time at UH-West Oahu, and the course work will transfer toward a four-year degree in public administration with a concentration in disaster preparedness and emergency management or health care.
"We are pleased to offer Kapiolani Community College students another degree pathway," KCC Chancellor Leon Richards said in a written news release. "With a strong academic partnership such as this with UH-West Oahu, and with other four-year UH campuses, we can say to our students, 'Start your baccalaureate at Kapiolani Community College!'"
UH-West Oahu Chancellor Gene Awakuni said, "This agreement helps students build upon the strong foundation they have acquired at Kapiolani Community College while taking advantage of our baccalaureate programs in related fields."
$1.3 million to improve Hilo Airport
Hilo Airport will receive more than $1.3 million in federal grants for airport improvements, U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye has announced.
The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing two grants for taxiway construction.
The airport will receive $1,028,793 to build two connecting taxiways and an additional $276,886 to rehabilitate three taxiways.
