The Department of Water Supply’s continual efforts to rid the Upper Kula system of trace amounts of E. coli have resulted in some progress as residents of Polipoli Road, Kulanani Place, Kōheo Road, Monden Drive and Pilikino Place, no longer need to boil their water.
The Department of Water Supply is advising Upper Kula residents and businesses from Crater Road to Kanaio to boil water before consumption. Trace amounts of E coli bacteria have been detected within the last 24 hours, and out of an abundance of caution, a boil water advisory is in effect. There was no presence of E coli in earlier water sampling.
