Re: Wastewater Improvement Project
Enclosed is a bill for an ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental agreement
for a State Water Pollution Control Revolving Fund Loan (SRF) of$37,000,000 and authorizing the
issuance of general obligation bonds for the purpose of financing the following projects:
Pahala Wastewater Collection System $15,000,000
Pahala Large Capacity Cesspool Conversion $22,000,000
Pursuant to the County Procedures Manual for Participation in the Hawai`i State Revolving Fund Loan
Program, prepared by the Wastewater Branch of the Hawai`i Department of Health in April 1994, part
of the loan application process requires a"resolution or ordinance passed by the County Council which
authorizes the SRF loan application and identifies the dedicated source(s) of revenue (i.e., general
obligation bonds),which will fund the project and repayment of the loan with interest." The Council's
authorization of the issuance of general obligation bonds will serve as a pledge of its general obligation
authority as security for repayment of the loan and interest.
If there are any questions,please do not hesitate to call Robin Bauman of the Department of
Environmental Management at 981-8179.

A. REQUEST:
An Ordinance authorizing the Mayor to enter into an intergovernmental agreement for a State Pollution
Control Revolving Fund Loan for Wastewater improvement project and authorizing the issuance of
$37,000,000 General Obligation Bonds of the County of Hawai'i for the purpose of financing the following
projects:,
Pahala Wastewater Collection System $15,000,000
Pahala Large Capacity Cesspool Conversion $22,000,000
B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED):
The Pahala Community is currently served by a combination of Individual Sewage Disposal Systems and a
County sewer system previously owned and operated by C. Brewer. The County is under a USEPA AOC to
construct a secondary wastewater treatment facility to serve the community, close two large capacity
cesspools (LCC), and expand the existing wastewater collection system by December 16, 2021.
The current collection system is comprised of substandard gravity lines that convey sewage from
approximately 109 parcels to two large capacity cesspools. The AOC requires servicing all currently
connected properties and a minimum of 65 additional properties. Based on wastewater flow projections
developed using 2017 City and County of Honolulu wastewater standards, the treatment and disposal facility
would be designed for an average dry weather flow capacity of 190,000 gallons per day.
Attachment A illustrates the parcels that would be serviced, the existing large capacity cesspool locations,
and the preferred alternative site for the new secondary wastewater treatment and disposal facility.
This request will provide funding for design and construction for these projects and allow us to take
advantage of the lower interest rates provided by the State Revolving Fund Loan Program.
