WATER SYSTEM SOURCE |
|
Haena-Wainiha
Where
does my water come from? Your
water comes from ground water (underground)
sources. Rain that falls
in the mountain filters through the ground into formations called
aquifers. Wells are drilled into these formations and the water is pumped
out. These formations can also be found in the mountains (still
considered ground water). Tunnels are constructed to tap these
sources. The quality of groundwater is very good and requires no treatment except
for disinfection (as opposed to
surface water sources that require filtration and stronger disinfection).
The water supply for the Haena & Wainiha water system
comes from the following sources:

stored in the following tanks:
