' Department of Water Supply -4- January 16, 1979 <br /> County of Hawaii <br /> that connect to the Department's water systems. Projects costing <br /> $50,000 to over $1 ,000,000 have been handled by the division. <br /> Because the Safe Drinking Water Act recently enacted by Congress <br /> has rigid requirements for potable water, more emphasis has been <br /> . placed on the development of groundwater sources. The water from <br /> these sources meet all requirements of this Act because of its <br /> excellent quality. In addition, the dependability of such sources, <br /> especially during the drier period, is one of the major reasons we <br /> are actively seeking more groundwater sources. Where water from <br /> surface sources is of poor quality, we have constructed treatment <br /> plants to meet the Safe Drinking Water requirements. For your <br /> information, failure to comply with these requirements may cause the <br /> operating agency to be fined by the Federal Government. <br /> Use of new construction materials which assure long life at an <br /> economical cost has become a part of our Standards for Water System <br /> to assure the public of long, continuous water service, minimize <br /> shutdown time, and minimize replacement cost. <br /> The fiscal division is charged with the responsibility of <br /> the expenditures and the direction of the finances of the Department. <br /> This division is headed by a fiscal officer who is a professional <br /> accountant. The division is divided into three sections. These <br /> • include management accounting, customer services and revenue . <br /> accounting, and the computer service sections. The division has <br /> a total of 18 employees with an annual payroll of approximately <br /> $225,500. <br />
