Obviously the health issue <br /> extends beyond the marine life and comes full circle to its source - our own wastewater. <br /> Wastewater includes household runoff of organic nutrients and chemical wastes such as <br /> detergents and pharmaceuticals, and Kapoho Kai Water Association has been proactive in <br /> educating our water subscribers, reaching out to State and County officials regarding <br /> enforcement of existing laws, yet unable to cope with enforcement of this ideal. <br /> We acknowledge that this problem creates both moral and financial imperatives for <br /> which we as community homeowners and leaders require assistance of our elected <br /> officials to support and respond effectively in this urgency. <br /> Thus, we are wholeheartedly compelled to support Kapoho Kai Water Association's <br /> quest in eliminating cesspools in the Kapoho coastline residential area, including our <br /> sister community Kapoho Beach Lots subdivision as well as Kapoho Vacationland <br /> subdivision and support the resolution before the county council. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> l~wt-e6u <br /> Richard Shea, president <br /> DV ' VHCA Board of Directors <br /> <br /> Comm.
