BOWMAN: Okay, so on Page 2 of 3 of Mr. NamuoÓs, no, Yukie OhashiÓs reply, Ðthe <br />Applicant will be paying 68.8 percent of the total cost to build the transmission system to DWS <br />standards, and in exchange, will receive 1,500 units, or 33 percent of the Waiaha well resource <br />over a 20 year time period,Ñ and what I think I read was that the Water Board agrees with this <br />because Kona needs the water. <br />WATANABE: Well, I could be wrong but my interpretation was that theyÓre overbuilding <br />for their subdivision so that, and the Board (sic) of Water Supply was going to pay for the <br />overbuilding, so that other parts of Kona could also use that infrastructure Î that was my <br />interpretation. <br /> <br />BOWMAN: Okay, cause it -. <br /> <br />WATANABE: And if -. <br /> <br />BOWMAN: The applicant, it does say that the applicant -. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Bobby Jean, you want to -? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Perhaps Mr. Lim. <br /> <br />LIM: I believe what Ms. Bowman is referring to is April 3, 2008 lette <br /> <br />to Yukie Ohashi and Yukie OhashiÓs July 2response. This is not part of our project; this is the <br />water project and this is the environmental assessment that was processed for the Waiaha Water <br />System project. But I guess what IÓm hearing is that you just want to kind of understand what <br />that means is that -. <br /> <br />BOWMAN: Thank you. <br /> <br />LIM: The private water system will be developed by Waiaha System LLC using <br />one of the Department of Water SupplyÓs existing wells; they didnÓt have the money to develop <br />the well out and the biggest thing they didnÓt have was they didnÓt have the land easements <br />around the pipelines and everything else. So what happened was the, it was Dan Bolton and <br />many of the property owners in the area got together to form Waiaha System LLC, which is the <br />developer of the water system, theyÓll build that out. They were able to get all the easements <br />from various landowners, and in exchange for their share of the <br />receive water commitments. At the point in time when they finish the water system, DWS will <br />be forcing, you know, theyÓll make them design to their standard <br />will dedicate the system to DWS; it will be part of the CountyÓs water system -. <br /> <br />BOWMAN: So 30, about 33 percent, I guess, then will be the County and the other will <br />be private. <br /> <br />LIM: ThatÓs correct. ThatÓs a negotiated deal that was done between DWS, the <br />Water Board and the developer of the water system. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br />17 <br /> <br />
