Subject: Bill 268, Draft 2, Relating to An Ordinance Amending Chapter 9 of the Hawaii County Code
1983, Relating to the County Electrical Code.
Dear Chairperson Yagong:
Wasa Electrical Services, Inc. is an electrical contracting firm licensed to do business in the
State of Hawaii with a shop in Kona for the past 22 years. A great majority of our work is performed
within Hawaii County. I fully support Bill 268 with revisions. The intent and purpose of Bill 268
clarifies many issues related to electrical work in the County but "Section 9 -3 (3) Scope; exceptions" is
too vague and opens the door for anyone other than the utility company or licensed electrical contractor
to control and perform the work within a proposed boundary lines of a subdivision, proposed
subdivision under development, or an approved subdivision, where the work is planned or actual
roadways or other common infrastructure areas. An acceptable language should include that the work
should be performed exclusively by the utility company or contractor contracted to perform the work for
the utility company. Any and all work other than the utility company or its contractor should be
performed by an authorized licensed electrical contractor.
I support Bill 268 with revision as described above.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony on this issue.
Respectfully,
WASA ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC.
