Subject: Written testimony for Bill 25 of the County Council
Members of the County Council,
Aloha and Mahalo for for considering this critical issue for the residents of Puako and the adjacent reef.The need for a community
wastewater treatment facility is vital. The reef cannot sustain the continued assault of untreated and minimally treated waste. This
reef is a treasure that Hawaii can take great pride in protecting. Many residents and visitors alike spend a great deal of time in these
waters. It is critical for the health and safety of the reef itself, its inhabitants and its human neighbors that toxic wastewater be
diverted from the shallow coastline through a proper wastewater treatment facility.
We all share the desire to respect the island and the reef. I can think of no better way for our government to demonstrate this
respect than by moving forward with this critical project.
Mahalo,
Scott and Lisa Shurtz
