Dear Chair Lee and Committee Members:
Re: HB 2268, HB 2573, HB 2626, HB 2540 Relating to Cesspools
Hearing Date (KB 2573): 02106/18 — 8:35 am; Conference Room 325
Housing already is barely affordable for many Hawaii residents and the
conversion of cesspools to septic systems is a very costly proposition. Therefore, if
cesspools are to be abolished in the State of Hawai'i, anything that eases the financial
burden will be welcomed.
As a result, I support HB 2268, HB 2573, HB 2626, and HB2540, to the extent
that those bills provide ways to reduce the net expenses of our constituents.
ectfyJty submitted,
Harry Kim
Mayor, County of Hawaii
