Honolulu currently faces the problem of dealing with an aging infrastructure. In particular, parts of our water and sewer lines are reaching the end of their useful life spans, with a bulk of our water and sewer mains well over 50 years old. Numerous water main and sewer main breaks in recent years make it clear that the system is in need of repairs and, without intervention, will likely suffer more breaks and failures.
Mayor Mufi Hannemann's administration, through their "Operation Fix," and the Honolulu Board of Water Supply began on the Kapiolani Water and Sewer System Improvements Project in late 2006. This project addresses the needs of our aging water and sewer systems, taking a proactive approach to improve our infrastructure. Taking care of these issues now will prevent costly repairs and further inconveniences in the future. The Mayor's administration recognizes this as an opportunity to improve and enhance our island's infrastructure, ensuring a safe and reliable water and sewer system for our future.
