Contact: Michael Kaha, Solid Waste Division Deputy Chief, Department of
Environmental Management (phone 961-8083)
Water Line at Hilo Solid Waste Facilities is Scheduled for Repair this
Thursday, August 27, 2020, at 3:00 p.m.
The repair of a water line at the Hilo Transfer Station is scheduled this Thursday
afternoon, August 27, 2020, at 3:00 p.m.
The repair will require ALL inbound traffic to be diverted into the HI-5 recycling parking
lot before going to the rubbish chutes, scalehouse, or green waste area. The outbound
lane will remain open and outbound traffic will not be affected; however, patrons are
asked to drive with caution during this time.
Attendants will be posted in this area to direct traffic during the water line repair.
Patrons should expect longer lines during this repair and should consider postponing
their disposal activities to reduce the anticipated traffic congestion.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding,
and for doing your part in keeping our island home a clean and safe paradise.
Please visit our www.hawaiizerowaste.org website for future closure information and
locations, or call our Department of Environmental Management, Solid Waste Division
Office, at 961-8270.
