17. Water: According to the 2019 Annual Report, the applicant secured 2,291 water units in exchange for the completion and dedication of the Palani Well and related improvements to the Department of Water Supply (DWS) in 2015. During the 2018 amendment to the rezone, DWS indicated that pursuant to the Well Site Development Agreement dated April 12, 2007, between the applicant, other parties, and the Water Board, the applicant has a water commitment for the proposed development. The parties to the Agreement have also executed an Off-Site Improvement Agreement dated August 12, 2009; First Supplemental Well Site Development Agreement dated August 12, 2009; and Second Amendment to Well Site Development Agreement dated July 27, 2015. Required water system improvements for the project area are subject to the above mentioned agreements. 18.

Conditions of the LUC Decision & Order Docket No. A00-730 require the petition area to be developed with dry sewer lines, eventually connecting to the Kealakehe WWTP when a connection is available and requires lot owners in the project area to participate in an improvement district to fund connection to the WWTP and pay a fair share of the cost to fund a connection.Additional conditions require tenants to utilize individual wastewater systems (IWS) with an enhanced treatment system meeting with the requirements of the State Department of Health in the interim and limits the project to a maximum of 40 lots to be improved and occupied before requiring connection to the County's WWTP,provided that they install and maintain the previously mentioned IWS with enhanced treatment systems. Currently,there are two lots that have been developed using an enhanced IWS, leaving balance of 38 lots still eligible. A final condition requires the petitioner and lot owners to develop and participate in a Wastewater System Maintenance Agreement to ensure that the enhanced IWS systems are regularly inspected, maintained, repaired, and certified to be in proper operating order. In their latest Annual Report to the State Land Use Commission the applicant confirmed that they do and will continue to comply with these requirements.
