Repairs prompt water conservation request in North Kohala

The Hawaii County Department of Water Supply is requesting North Kohala customers to conserve water.

The request was prompted by emergency work needed on a storage tank at the Kaauhuhu Reservoir in the department’s North Kohala water system. The affected area stretches from Kaauhuhu homestead to Maliu Ridge, according to the department.
