RE: S.C.R. No. 203
S.D. 1
H.D. 1
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 S.C.R.
No. 203, S.D. 1, entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF
PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND COUNTY OF MAUI TO
INVENTORY AND MAP EXISTING R-1 WATER DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND
RESERVOIRS IN MAUI COUNTY,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request the Office of
Planning and Sustainable Development and County of Maui to
inventory and map existing R-1 water (water recycled from
wastewater that has undergone oxidation, filtration, and
disinfection) delivery systems and reservoirs in Maui County.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one member of the Maui County Council and Hawaii Reef and
Ocean Coalition. Your Committee received comments on this measure
from the Department of Land and Natural Resources and Office of
Planning and Sustainable Development.
Your Committee finds that without increasing the use of
reclaimed water in the State, residents will encounter potable
drinking water shortages caused by the overuse of potable drinking
water for agricultural, landscaping, or firefighting purposes.

 STAND. COM. REP. NO. -24
Your Committee further finds that an important first step in
increasing the use of reclaimed water is to create accurate
inventories and maps of existing R-l water delivery systems and
reservoirs that may be used to store reclaimed water.
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Requesting the Department of Land and Natural Resources,
along with the Office of Planning and Sustainable
Development and County of Maui, to inventory and map
existing R-l water delivery systems and reservoirs in
Maui County;
(2) Broadening the scope of the inventory and mapping of
existing R-l water delivery systems and reservoirs to
Maui County, not just the island of Maui;
(3) Amending its title in accordance with its amended
purpose; and
(4) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the
purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.
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 S.C.R. No. 203,
S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to
your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as S.C.R.
No. 203, S.D. 1, H.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
