Board of Water Supply reports main breaks, provisional paving and project timelines
Summary
Board of Water Supply rep Jimmy Anos said the Lower Nuuanu water‑system improvements are tentatively set to start in September pending SHPD permits; he reported two recent main breaks (June 7 at 3148 Alika Ave — 8" pipe installed 2007; June 13 at 3728 Old Palley Road — 6" pipe installed 1951) and said final paving is scheduled for mid‑August.
Jimmy Anos, representing the Board of Water Supply, updated the board on ongoing water infrastructure issues and local repairs. He reported the Lower Nuuanu system improvements project is tentatively scheduled to start in September but remains pending permit approvals from the State Historic Preservation Division (SHPD).
Anos gave specifics on recent main breaks: on June 7 at 3148 Alika Avenue a 8‑inch diameter pipe installed in 2007 failed, and on June 13 at 3728 Old Palley Road a 6‑inch pipe installed in 1951 failed. He said the contractor is scheduled to complete final paving on Elite Avenue by mid‑August barring unforeseen circumstances, and asked residents to notify BWS if temporary patches become unstable before paving.
Residents thanked BWS representatives for follow‑up on reported damages and urged careful vendor oversight to avoid costly change orders or sloppy repairs. Anos said staff would smooth out temporary patches if asked and would monitor the contractor's final paving schedule.
