Minutes for Wednesday, May 23, 2001Page 2 of 2 <br />JOHN OTA - Since his return to the island in 1994, he has noticed a big change in many environmental <br />issues. Individual homeowners in Pauka must hook up to the sewer line that the County installed at a <br />cost of $2,000 to $9,000 per individual. Why do some homeowners have to hook up, and others <br />excused? <br />GABRIEL MANNING - Concerned about the cost of hooking up to the sewer line due to the blue rock <br />in the Waiakea Houselot area.
