Proposed acquisition of Launiupoko Irrigation Co., Inc. water infrastructure assets and portion of Kamehameha Schools lands in Ku'ia
Maui County
Description
The county wants to buy LIC's non-potable water system for $1.5 million (appraised at $955,000) plus $2.9 million in dredging, fencing, power, and pump upgrades, and is in talks with Kamehameha Schools about Ku'ia land for housing and fire resilience. Details went to executive session under an NDA.
Impact summary
Public ownership could support new housing, flood control, and fire resilience in West Maui, but testifiers warned the water budget can't absorb new demand and questioned native tenant water rights.
