While details of the county’s anticipated acquisition of Wailuku Water Co.’s system remain fluid, an official said Thursday that an agreement may be reached by next year.
“There’s a lot still in flux,” Maui County Managing Director Sandy Baz told The Maui News on Thursday afternoon. “But we should be able to send something to the council early next year.”
