Dear Chair Yamane, Vice Chair Todd, and Committee Members:
RE: SB 935, SD1 Relating to Capital Improvement Projects for Water Reuse
Thank you for this opportunity to testify in support of SB 935, SD1, which includes funding for a water
reuse project in Hawaiʻi County. We appreciate that the Legislature has taken the initiative to bring this project
within reach.
Managing the reuse of limited water resources is becoming more and more important, and this project
is in alignment with the water reuse goals proposed by the State.
We ask for your favorable action on SB 935, SD1, as well as possible incorporation of this project into
your priorities for the State budget.
Respectfully Submitted,
Harry Kim
MAYOR
