moratorium is based on Ha'ao Springs distribution pipeline being only 4 inches in <br /> diameter and so old that it can't tape any added water pressure. The distribution pipe is <br /> so old and weak that when. there's a break the water supply repair personnel have to repair <br /> the pipe with water running; if they close a valve the water pressure builds up bursting <br /> trae pipe. We simply need a-new larger diameter pipe capable of carrying the already <br /> existing water from Ha'ao Springs. <br /> agriculture INTI~ODiJCTION AND ANALYSIS, page 343. <br /> Distinguish between "important agricultural and other agricultural land°° page 344. <br /> GOALS page 345 <br /> °°Preserve and enhance opportunities for the expansion of Ilawaii's Agricultural <br /> industry. <br /> POLICIES page 345 <br /> Much is said about assisting agriculture grow but the County encouraging rural law <br /> enforcement, including a policy on prosecuting crop thieves as well as buyers and <br /> distributors of stolen produce, is simply not addressed. <br /> I~a'u Profile page 353 <br /> The lack of an adequate water supply is one of the major limitatations to further <br /> agricultural development iii the district.

I'm not saying we should disregard water - I'm saying we <br /> should focus on protecting crops from th=~.criminal element as the crops we plant come <br /> ready for harvesting. We also need- to change the mind set about crop and other <br /> agricultural crimes from 'Thegr aren't really crimes' to 'X"es, they're very serious crimes.' <br /> Ka'u Profile pages 364, 365 <br /> Commercial activities in the I~a'u district are concentrated in the communities of <br /> Pahala, Naalehu, and Waiohinu and in the area of the Iiuva~aii Volcanoes National <br /> Park.......
