Recycled water and wastewater injection wells
Maui County
Summary
New policies would require developments to connect to recycled (R-1) water systems where available, and move toward — not fully eliminate — wastewater injection wells, since state rules require backup capacity. Councilmember Cook noted many hotels already have dual meters ready for recycled water.
