RE: H.R~ No. 79
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water & Land, to which was referred H.R.
No. 79 entitled:
“HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF FACILITY
MAINTENANCE OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULU TO CLEAN
CERTAIN STREAMS AND CANALS IN WAIPAHU,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the Department of
Facility Maintenance of the City and County of Honolulu to clean
several of Waipahu’s streams and canals.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one individual.
Your Committee finds that there are several streams and
canals in Waipahu that may be at risk for increased siltation and
flooding due to the presence of debris and fast—growing
vegetation. Your Committee further finds that cleaning and
clearing these streams and canals in Waipahu would reduce the
risks associated with these safety hazards.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water & Land that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 79 and
recommends its adoption.
