Hawaii PUC to Hold Oct. 19 Public Hearing on Punaluu Water and Sanitation Outage
Honolulu is a city in Honolulu County, Hawaii (a consolidated city-county). The Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) announced on October 12 that it will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. on Monday, October 19, at the Pahala Community Center to address service outages at Punaluu Water and Sanitation Company (PWS) and the ongoing water problems residents have faced since Hurricane Lala.
According to the notice, the commission called the meeting because customers in the Punaluu area have been unable to get normal water service restored long after the hurricane. At the meeting, PWS will be required to explain its current repair progress and long-term restoration plans, and affected customers will have a chance to speak in person and submit feedback. The commission encourages all affected residents to attend and share their experiences. Written comments may also be submitted, marked with docket number 2025-0167, via the commission's website, by email, or by mail to Room 103, 465 South King Street, Honolulu.
The PUC regulates all franchised public utilities in Hawaii and is responsible for ensuring safe, reliable and reasonably priced utility service. The commission said it hopes the face-to-face meeting will let it hear directly from front-line customers and push water service back to normal as quickly as possible.
