RE: S.R. No. 179
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water and Land, to which was referred S.R.
No. 179 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE OFFICE OF PLANNING AND
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT TO INVENTORY AND MAP EXISTING R-1
WATER DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND RESERVOIRS IN MAUI COUNTY,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Office of Planning and Sustainable Development to inventory and
map existing R-1 water delivery systems and reservoirs in Maui
County.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one member of the Maui County Council.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Department of Land and Natural Resources.
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.
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-1 water delivery systems and
reservoirs that may be used for reclaimed water storage. Your

Sustainable Development to create an inventory and maps of
existing R-1 water delivery systems and reservoirs on the island
of Maui could result in more efficient access to, and use of,
fresh water.

(1) Inserting language requesting that, in addition to the
Office of Planning and Sustainable Development, the
County of Maui:
(A) Inventory and map existing R-1 water delivery
systems and reservoirs in Maui County; and
(B) Submit the inventory and maps to the Legislature no
later than twenty days prior to the convening of
the Regular Session of 2025;
(2) TXmending its title in accordance with its amended
purpose; and
(3) Including the Mayor of the County of Maui as a recipient
of certified copies of this measure.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Water and Land that is attached to this report, your
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.R. No. 179, as
amended herein, and recommends its adoption in the form attached
hereto as S.R. No. 179, S.D. 1.
