PROPOSED INCREASE TO WATER RATE SCHEDULE FOR HO’OLEHUA DRINKING WATER SYSTEM

The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) is currently proposing an increase to the water rate schedules for the Ho‘olehua drinking water system. The current rates are due to expire on June 30, 2018. The last time DHHL raised water rates was in 2004 and the increase was spread incrementally over 10 years. Costs to operate the water system have risen and revenue collected from the water rates have not kept up. Please participate in the Beneficiary Consultation process and share your mana‘o.
