 Emergency water service shutdown on portion of Rice Street due to mainline break
LIHUE – The Department of Water (DOW) announces an emergency water service shutdown on a portion of Rice Street, from Kalena Street to Ho’olako Street, due to a recent 12-inch mainline break. Water service will be turned off from approximately 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to conduct the emergency mainline repairs.
A partial lane closure with traffic control may be implemented along Rice Street, near Kalapaki Villas, to create a safe work zone for repairs.
Customers located in the service area are advised to prepare for the water service shutdown by taking the following steps:
- Store water to meet your needs until water service can be safely restored.
- Notify neighbors, family and friends of the water service shutdown.
- Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that water heaters do not empty during the shutdown.
- Businesses are advised to prepare accordingly for the temporary water service disruption.
The estimated timeline for repairs may be extended, if necessary to complete the mainline repairs. An update will be provided if new information is received.
