discharge line valves due to hydraulic surging. Work is to include upgrading the <br />HVAC; replacing/upgrading components of the electrical system; replacing corroded <br />duct work; upgrading the wet well level control system; and improving on safety <br />issues by eliminating fire and electrical hazards to achieve compliance with NFPA <br />820 and 70E. The project is funded by CWSRF monies. <br /> <br /> <br />H. ULU WINI WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT: <br />• WWD continues to maintain stability of the treatment plant with the goal of <br />achieving consistent process data and meeting the regulatory as well as <br />expected effluent limits. The treatment system currently meets DOH <br />regulatory requirements, and nutrient removal is taking place. The longer term <br />goal being considered is to install a gravity sewer line in Hina Lani Street that <br />connects to the existing dry sewer in Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway as part of <br />the North Kona Sewer Pump Station project. The Ulu Wini Housing community <br />would connect to the gravity line and the existing Kaloko WWTP would be <br />decommissioned. <br />• The State DOH is being kept apprised of the progress of the long-term goal for <br />addressing the wastewater treatment/disposal. <br /> <br />I. UPDATE ON WATER SHUT-OFF FOR NON PAYMENT OF SEWER BILLS: <br />DEM is currently drafting administrative rules for the implementation of water shut- <br />off for non-payment of sewer fees. The Department of Water Supply (DWS) is also <br />drafting amendments to its rules to allow for water shut-off due to non-payment of <br />sewer fees. Both DEM and DWS rules need to be amended for the water shut-off to <br />be implemented. In the meantime, we continue to work with delinquent customers <br />to bring their accounts current and refer accounts to the Office of the Corporation <br />Counsel to pursue judgments when necessary. <br /> <br />J.
