COUNTY OF HAWAII
STATE OF HAWAII
RESOLUTION NO.
33 9-1-
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXTENSION OF THE PUBLIC SEWER AT
KAAPOKO HOMESTEAD ROAD, LOCATED AT PAPA I KOU, DISTRICT Of SOUTH
HILO, COUNTY AND STATE OF HAWAII.
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE COUNTY OF HAWAII.
WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the
community as a whole. By elimination of existing cesspools, the
amount of pollutants reaching the groundwater and the coastal
waters is reduced, resulting in a cleaner, healthier environment;
and
WHEREAS, extensions to the sewer system are beneficial to the
Department of Public Works by increasing the revenue base and
allowing more cost-efficient operation of our existing facilities
by reducing the unit cost of treatment; and
WHEREAS, the Papaikou Wastewater Treatment Plant (PWTP) was
designed with a capacity of 0.35 mgd. It is currently operating
at approximately 0.08 mgd, or 23% of its design capacity. While
this percentage will increase with the completion of the Papaikou
Sewer System cu~rently under construction and the Paukaa Collector
Sewer planned for construction later this year, there will still
be considerable excess capacity; and
I
,
_J
WHEREAS, the Kaapoko Homestead Road area was included as part
of the design area for the Environmental Impact Statement and
Engineering Report prepared for the PWTP in 1973 by Chung Dho
Ahn & Associates, Inc.; and
.
."
, '
WHEREAS, as a grant condition for the PWTP, the EPA required
as a minimum that 75% of the homes and structures in Papaikou and
Paukaa must be connected to the pUblic sewer. Failure to comply
with this condition could result in action by the EPA to recover a
portion of the grant funds awarded; and
WHEREAS, surplus federal funds from the current Papaikou
Sewerage System construction will be used to fund this extension,
which funds must be returned if not used as part of this sewage
construction project; and
WHEREAS, section 21-26, Hawaii County Code, requires that the
council approve all sewer extensions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that pursuant to section
21-26, Hawaii County Code, the sewer extension for Kaapoko
Homestead Road in Papaikou, as shown on the map attached as
Exhibit A, is hereby approved.
Dated at Hilo, Hawaii, this
