Water and wastewater service

Inside the county water service area; outside every mapped sewer service area, so wastewater is handled on the lot

Service areas are the county's 2020 polygons; a written availability answer comes from the Department of Water, (808) 245-5400. Act 045 (2026) requires the Department to post a service map and a restricted-areas list by January 1, 2029 and to answer written requests for lots of three units or fewer within 45 days.
