BWS Provides Water Source Locations for Residents to Fill Up

>August 17, 2026, 5 PM – The Board of Water Supply (BWS) is experiencing low to no water pressure in the upper areas of the Metropolitan Honolulu water system due to the prolonged power issues that O’ahu is undergoing. This includes the ridges from Alewa Heights running east to and including Kalama Valley. If you live on the upper mountain ridges of the Ko’olau Mountains in metro Honolulu, you may encounter low to no water pressure which will affect your water service. The BWS is working with HECO and other city agencies to address this issue.

>While restoration work is continuing, the BWS is making available several locations in affected areas where residents can bring containers and fill up. These locations will be up and running by 6 pm tonight:

• 1522 Laukahi Street at BWS Hydrant Number 4565

• 420 Puuikena Street at BWS Hydrant Number 6812

• 1367 Aina Koa Avenue at BWS Hydrant Number 3744

• 688 Kuakini Street (near Lanakila Elementary School) at BWS Hydrant Number 3959

>These locations will not be manned by BWS personnel, but they will be checked regularly by BWS crew. Please be sure to turn off the spigot after each use. Any spigot left open or tampered with may result in the removal of the equipment and the closure of the water source. A list of locations may also be found on our website at boardofwatersupply.com or call (808) 748-5041.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to add the link to the announcement. It's the same as the one I posted earlier.
