HONORABLE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS
HAWAII COUNTY COUNCIL

SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO HAWAII COUNTY CODE, CHAPTER 21,
ARTICLE 4, AUTHORIZATION FOR WATER SERVICE SHUTOFF
Attached is a proposed amendment to Chapter 21, Hawaii County Code to authorize the shutoff
of water service by the Department of Water Supply to enforce the collection of sewer user fees.
Currently, the Department of Public Works, Wastewater Division, has no means by which to
force payment of delinquent fees. Because we do not have the ability to withhold sewer service,
our delinquent fees have been major revenue loss for the County.
We have discussed and coordinated this amendment with the Department of Water Supply who
concur with our proposal.
Under separate cover, we are transmitting the proposed ordinance to the Public Works
Committee Chair for introduction. Your favorable consideration of this request would be greatly
appreciated. Should you have any concerns, please contact us.
