The Wastewater Division recently performed a video inspection of the Kalaniana`ole Avenue interceptor sewer to determine the condition of the existing sewer system. Evaluation of the video inspection revealed significant concrete deterioration of the interceptor sewer with exposure of steel reinforcement. A review by independent experts concluded that the sewer line could be in danger of imminent collapse. This project, to repair/rehabilitate approximately one mile of interceptor sewer which has experienced significant deterioration, will be funded by the State Revolving Fund. If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Environmental Management. William Takaba Director of Finance APPROVED: Harry Kim Comm.

REQUEST: Amend Ordinance 02-77 to include the following wastewater public improvement project to be funded by the State Revolving Fund (SRF): Kalaniana'ole Interceptor Sewer Rehabilitation $5,000,000.00 B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED)' The Wastewater Division recently performed a video inspection of the Kalaniana'ole Avenue interceptor sewer to determine the condition of the existing sewer system. Evaluation of the video inspection revealed significant concrete deterioration of the interceptor sewer with exposure of steel reinforcement. A review by independent experts concluded that the sewer line could be in danger of imminent collapse. The Kalaniana'ole Avenue Interceptor currently services the majority of the population connected to the Hilo Sewer System. Of additional concern is the fact that the Interceptor is located on a heavily traveled highway and is subject to heavy loads from vehicles serving the State Harbors and various Petroleum companies in the area. A collapse of the Interceptor Sewer could also affect adjacent utilities including the Gas Company's main high pressure feeder lines for the Hilo Utility System and a petroleum line serving HELCO's main power plant. The implications associated with a failure to pursue the necessary repairs could be immense. Beyond the obvious safety and health implications, the County could be subject to fines of up to $25,000 per day from the Department of Health. In addition to this, the EPA could take direct action in the form of a consent decree similar to that imposed on the County of Maui several years ago.
