Re: A Resolution Relating to a Council Initiated Improvement District Implementation Study for
the Construction of Certain Wastewater and Sewer System Improvements for Holualoa,
District of North Kona, 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 Kilohana Homeowners Association has
requested the assistance of the County in its efforts to comply with the EPA regulation and connect to
the County sewer system. The subdivision was constructed with eight large capacity cesspools.
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 Holualoa, District of North Kona, Hawaii.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Environmental
Management.
