<br />----- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COUNTY OF HAWAII <br /> <br />STATE OF HAWAII <br /> <br />RESOLUTION NO.~ <br /> <br />RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXTENSION OF THE PUBLIC SEWER AT <br />PAUKAA, DISTRICT OF SOUTH HILO, COUNTY AND STATE OF HAWAII. <br /> <br />BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII. <br /> <br />WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the <br /> <br />community as a whole. By elimination of existing cesspools, the <br /> <br />amount of pollutants reaching the groundwater and the coastal <br /> <br />waters is reduced, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment; <br /> <br />and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the <br /> <br />Department of Public Works by increasing the revenue base and <br /> <br />allowing more cost-efficient operation of our existing facilities <br /> <br />by reducing the unit cost of treatment; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Papaikou Wastewater Treatment Plant (PWTP) was <br /> <br />designed with a capacity of 0.35 mgd. It is currently operating <br />at approximately 0.08 mgd, or 23% of its design capacity. While <br /> <br />this percentage will increase with the completion of the Papaikou <br /> <br />Sewer System currently under construction, there will still be <br /> <br />considerable excess capacity; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the paukaa area was included as part of the design <br /> <br />area for the Environmental Impact Statement and Engineering Report <br />prepared for the PWTP in 1973 by Chung Dho Ahn & Associates, Inc.; <br /> <br />and <br />
