LIHUE – The Department of Water (DOW) invites the public to attend its second round of meetings for the Kaua`i Water Use and Development Plan (KWUDP) update from Aug. 10 through Aug. 31.

The KWUDP is a component of the Hawaii Water Plan which serves as a dynamic, long-range planning guide for the Commission on Water Resource Management.

Interested individuals are encouraged to attend a meeting in their community.  Meetings will be held at the following locations from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. as follows:

  • Thursday, Aug. 10 – Kalaheo Neighborhood Center at 4480 Papalina Road in Kalaheo
  • Tuesday, Aug. 15 – Waimea Neighborhood Center at 4556 Makeke Road in Waimea
  • Tuesday, Aug. 22 – St. Catherine’s School Cafeteria at 5021 Kawaihau Road in Kapa’a  
  • Tuesday, Aug. 29 – Lihue Neighborhood Center at 3353 Eono Street in Lihue
  • Thursday, Aug. 31 – Kilauea Neighborhood Center at 4260 Keneke Road in Kilauea

An important goal of the KWUDP update is to provide guidance for the island’s water resource managers, ensuring that future water needs of the island are met while preserving the integrity of the island's water resources. It will also provide guidance to ensure that sustainable water resources are integrated into the county’s long-range plans and development of land use policies.
