The Honolulu Board of Water Supply is urging residents to conserve water because the reservoirs are depleted from the power outage.
“They can not refill the reservoirs until they have power back because their pumps are electrically run,” Board of Water Supply officials said in a written statement.
“Because HECO is unclear about how long it will take for all of Oahu to be back up, and fully operational, they want to request that Hawaii Kai to Salt Lake, especially in the lower elevations, really conserve their water. Even when power if fully restored the system will not be back to normal and they are estimating that this conservation should last through the weekend.”
Water wagons were sent to Hawaii Kai, Nuuanu and Kaimuki, according to an e-mail from the board. The waterwagons are set up at the Haihaione Elementary School parking lot, the back of Kuakini Hospital by the Ewa driveway turnaround., and the Sacred Hearts Waialae parking lot.
Su Shin, spokeswoman for the board, said if residents have no water, they can call 748-5010 and a water wagon will be sent to the area.
