Home

The completion date of the project will be determined once a contractor has been selected. While there are many variables associated with any successful bid process and the timely delivery of a project that are outside the County’s control, the County will consider all available reasonable opportunities to expedite the successful completion of the project and reopen the facility as soon as possible. “We are excited to have the bid out and to be moving forward with the restoration work at the Pāhoa pool. The Puna community and our Aquatic staff are eager to get back in the water. As you can imagine, this is a very extensive cleaning process, and it took time for us to develop the scope of work to ensure that the contractor completes the restoration in accordance with best practices and County and State Health Standards,” said Roxcie Waltjen, Director of Parks and Recreation. “This is the first of many steps in restoring the entirety of our Pāhoa District Park’s facilities to public use, following their extended mobilization as a temporary evacuation center. I want to thank the people of Puna for their understanding and continued support as we strive to return their recreational facilities back to full-time use,” Waltjen said.
