Aloha APT Committee Members:

I’m writing to present my recommendations for adding the potential County Wailuku Water Company purchase to Table 14-41 on page 122 under: Summary of Recommended Strategies Wailuku ASEA.

As you probably know, in 2020, when I was Chair of the Maui County Board of Water Supply, members received a number of presentations about the WWC purchase from representatives of WWC, the County, and community members, and issued recommendations in February 2021.

Given that the Wailuku Water Company is for sale, it would make sense to include those findings in Table 14-4 — or at least a brief summary indicating that a sale is anticipated.

I have attached a document that shows Table 14-4 with the BWS findings included. All items in red are a rephrasing of the recommendations, with the exception of #3, which is in response to the following statement toward the top of page 2 in the BWS Executive Summary:

"There is no confirmed role for community members, kalo farmers, and others affected by the system, and in particular Hui O Na Wai Eha, which represents over 60 in-stream and off-stream users, in the current negotiations or future operation of the system."

I am also attaching the BWS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Discussions, Presentations, Finding & Recommendations May 2020 to January 2021 (Recommendations unanimously approved on February 18, 2021.)

Mahalo for your consideration.
