Description
The committee recommended the County buy the two private West Maui water systems and easements for up to $6 million, excluding closing costs. The deal still needs full Council action and state PUC approval, with closing projected around April 2027.
Impact summary
Public control of two West Maui water systems, with roughly 200,000 gallons per day of additional supply potential in each area and post-closing improvements like fencing the Snake Reservoir and system hardening for fire resilience.
