Scheduled Kauai power outage prompts calls for water conservation

Residents and businesses along Kauai’s Powerhouse Road in Wainiha have been asked to conserve water from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. today because of a scheduled power outage.

Kauai’s Department of Water is asking people to restrict themselves to using water only for cooking, bathing and toilet flushing — and to refrain from washing cars or turning on sprinklers or irrigation to reduce the risk of a water outage.

The Department of Water said it will provide updates on the work at www.facebook.com/KauaiDOW.
