Dear Chair Tokuda and Committee Members:
RE: HB 636, HD 1, SD 1
Relating to Water Conservation
As the purpose clause of HB 636, HD1, SD1 makes clear, Hawaii needs to
become as efficient as possible in the use of its limited fresh water supplies. A water
conservation program that provides financial assistance to county-owned public water
systems and their customers, to help implement water conservation, would, almost
certainly, be a valuable tool.
Whether the Legislature can find money for such a program is obviously a
dilemma that only you can solve, but we hope that HB 636 will become law.
Resp cffully submitted,
.er Harry Kim
Mayor
