Curtis Tyler III, Council member <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> 77-6399 Nalani St., #104 <br /> Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 96740 <br /> Deaz Council member Tyler: <br /> My wife and I were quite concerned about the fact that we were receiving wastewater chazges <br /> here on our side of the island that seem unusually high based on the conditions that prevail with <br /> our weather conditions. This grid climate demands that all of us rely on excessive irrigation to <br /> preserve the natural landscaping complementing our home sites. The water used with this <br /> application does not enter the wastewater system and consequently should not be chazged against <br /> our account. <br /> Our wastewater bill in each of two month periods exceeded our water bill and this certainly does <br /> not seem logical. Also, we received a notice (copy enclosed) that our last two months usage <br /> seemed to indicate that we were using an excessive amount of water which I might add amounted <br /> to 311,000 gallons over a two month period. We were completely unawaze of this problem and <br /> it was ultimately found out to be a defective sprinkler valve. It was quickly repaired and I <br /> assume we will return to our normal usage of approximately 45-50 thousand gallons per 60 day <br /> period. <br /> In conclusion, I believe we residents here on the dry side of the island should not be chazged such <br /> a high rate for wastewater when obviously none of the above examples enter the sewage system. <br /> Your assistance in promoting a change in the way these chazges are assessed would certainly be <br /> appreciated by our as well as I am sure all residents in this particular area. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> R bert D.
