WATER SYSTEM SOURCE |
|
Hanalei
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 Hanalei water system comes from the
following sources:
Maka
Ridge Well (No. 73) All
of the water is chlorinated and pumped into the distribution system or
stored in the following tanks:

250,000 gallon tank
