SAKATA:Yeah, as far as the water goes and electricity goes, Id say like get solar,
<br />you got the wind, you can do, you know, something without getting all the utility poles in. I
<br />think there is a chance.
<br />MCCALL: Would you, do you have a guess on how much you think, say, it would
<br />cost for you to put up water tanks and stuff to catch water for your, for your property?
<br />SAKATA:Oh, you mean to build my home?
<br />MCCALL:Yeah. If you were building your, Im asking, you know, if youre building
<br />your house how much do you think it would, how much do you think it would cost to put up, you
<br />know, water tanks and catchment to supply -?
<br />SAKATA:Well, I have no idea on the price of tanks and stuff. But then my property
<br />isclosetolikewhatMr.Saviohadspokeabouttheexistingwatersupply?
<br />MCCALL:Uhhuh.
<br />SAKATA:Thatwouldbesomethingthat,youknow,wouldbe,wouldlookfeasibleif
<br />we all could work together and get, you know, get the proper water, like the lines in to help.

<br />spend more than that, if everybody spent $5,000 of the 175, youre talking about close to a
<br />million dollars. And it might be worthwhile for you as a condominium association to go instead
<br />of putting that money into water tanks to put that money to putting in a well or developing one of
<br />these other systems, getting some piped water. That, you know -.
<br />SAKATA:That, absolutely, Id be all for that, you know, working toward that goal so
<br />we can all get everything up to standard.
<br />MCCALL:Okay, thank you.
<br />DAVIS:Sir, I put in a 10,000 gallon water tank at my house in Volcano and it cost
<br />about $3200. I put it up myself. One night of rain its full.
<br />MCCALL:Yeah, but thats in Volcano. Youd need probably twice that here.
<br />ALAMEDA:Any more questions of the applicant, testifier?
<br />GRAHAM:Don, you know Pahala and this area and I dont. I live way up on the
<br />north end of the island. And a lot of what I learned has just been from a meeting we had a year
<br />ago when Mr. Hester was putting in for an agricultural rezoning. At that time, lets see, we all
