This <br />directly results in a reduction in energy use, and makes the facility eligible for rebates <br />through the Hawai’i Energy Program. <br /> <br />The Department apologizes for any inconvenience this closure may cause, and thanks <br />pool users and the general public for their patience. <br /> <br />For more information, please call the Recreation Division at 961-8740. <br /> <br /> <br />County of Hawai‘i is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br /> <br /> <br />
