Re: A Resolution Relating to a Council Initiated Improvement District Implementation Study for
the Construction of Certain Wastewater and Sewer System Improvements for Waiakea,
District of South Hilo, Hawaii
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has promulgated Underground Injection Control
regulations on December 7, 1999 which require that large capacity cesspools existing prior to that
date must be upgraded or closed by April 5, 2005. The owners of the KTA Shopping Center and the
Puainako Towne Center have requested the assistance of the County in its efforts to comply with the
EPA regulation and connect to the County sewer system. Pursuant to the Hawaii County Code,
Section 12-10, titled "Initiation by council; study of proposed improvement; adoption of improvement;
hearing." it states that "The council shall, by resolution requiring not more than one reading for its
adoption, direct the chief engineer, or the manager in the case of a water system improvement
district, to prepare and submit to the council a report."
Enclosed is a resolution to authorize a Council initiated improvement district implementation study for
wastewater and sewer system improvements for Waiakea, District of South Hilo, Hawaii.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Environmental
Management.
