Then on January 16 we came on and the water was turned off to <br /> our lot. For thirteen years we've been raising vegetables and stuff <br /> and we were living on the property. All of a sudden the water was <br /> off so I called Tanya in Waimea. I'm not sure of her last name, <br /> because she told a friend of mine her name was Villanueva. In <br /> some later her name was Bannister so anyway it's Tanya I guess <br /> you know who I'm talking about. I had a conversation with Tanya <br /> and told her that I thought that the meter belonged to a property <br /> above and Joe Chang had cut the meter and we could use the <br /> water. But she told me no, she personally processed that <br /> application with Joe Chang and that meter belong on that lot that <br /> we had and that Heather Hook had all the rights in the world as a <br /> property owner to take the meter away from us. Okay. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I need you to really finish this in two more sentences please, <br /> because as I said we have the petition in front of us. <br /> Ms. Santiago: Okay. You lost me, what do you mean? Any way she told me that <br /> Heather Hook because she was a property a new property owner <br /> could take the water away from us. Now I'd like to read to you <br /> from the Department of Water Supply meeting that was held on the <br /> February 24 of this year. Where the Chief engineer Mr. Antonio <br /> had said water is not available to a land owner who is not a party <br /> of/to the agreement. The rules does not make water available to <br /> just any lot owner who wants to subdivide. That is because that lot <br /> owner is not in a specific water development agreement. So why <br /> did she give the water away from us without even given us a <br /> fifteen day notice time. Just like that the water was cut off and <br /> then I asked Tanya what about the meter a hundred and seventy <br /> feet away from where our meter was. You've got the petition in <br /> front of you. And she told me and Antonio, Mr. Antonio and also <br /> Calvin Uemura I think his name is of the public relations also told <br /> myself, me and the police officers that meter a hundred and seven <br /> feet away belong to a property it's down on the corner of Akoni <br /> Pule highway. Some half a mile away or so. I found this out, then <br /> all of a sudden they change their whole attitude and decided that <br /> meter we had belonged to a property above of us. They changed <br /> the whole prospective, trying to cover themselves. Again I would <br /> like to refer to the minutes of February 24, 2015. In which Mr. <br /> Antonio had said that once a property has been established with a <br /> meter. It cannot be moved. Let me read what he said here. <br /> 15 <br />
