The Kauai County Department of Water has scheduled a water outage for the Nawiliwili area from 10 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday. The shutdown will allow contractor Goodfellow Bros. to connect a newly installed waterline to the existing water system. 

This project is part of a plan to replace or repair aging infrastructure.

A detailed map of all affected streets can be viewed online at www.kauaiwater.org. 

Affected customers are asked to take the following steps:

» Store enough water to meet their needs during the outage.

» Notify family, friends, and neighbors that may be affected by the outage.

» Those with faulty water heaters should ensure that their water heaters do not empty during the outage.

For more information, call the department at 245-5461 during business hours, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
