Water: Note: KCE has sufficient water commitments and infrastructure to build 57 dwellings including affordable housing component without any additional off-site water system requirements. Although not required to do so, SCD is planning to develop " additional off-site watersystem improvements in accordance with County of Hawaii DWS requirements in order to assist Malulani Gardens' homeowners in Phases II & III (approximately 80 owners) to hook-up their existing private water system to the County system, and has obtained Kanuha ohana agreement to work on this goal. This agreement has been done in accordance with requests from Malulani Gardens homeowners; the County of Hawaii DWS; and the developer of Malulani Gardens, Mr. Brian R. Cook. This is a substantial benefit to Malulani Gardens, one that would have cost in excess of $1,000,000.00 if they were to do it themselves.
