As a resident surfer and swimmer on our West Side beaches, I support and encourage the County of Maui to invest in expanding re-use of treated wastewater from the Lahaina Wastewater Reclamation Facility. Expanding re-use will help the reef off Kahekili Beach Park (Hā‘enanui) by keeping treated sewage out of the injection wells and will also spare our streams and groundwater, which are currently tapped for irrigation. The County Council should commit to building the Kaʻanapali Resort Expansion Project, which will bring recycled water to numerous resorts along Ka‘anapali Parkway, re-using nearly 300,000 gallons of treated wastewater every day.
