Two lanes of Ala Wai Boulevard in Waikiki are closed this morning as a crew of the Board of Water Supply repairs a broken water main break and valve.
The ruptured main was reported at 9:30 p.m. at 2517 Ala Wai Boulevard Wednesday, prompting the closure of the left, westbound lane. An additional lane was closed at 8 a.m.
Five customers do not have water service because of the main break. The Board of Water supply provided the following water sources for affected customers:
» Water wagon at 2509 Ala Wai Boulevard
» Spigot placed on hydrant at 314 Ohua Avenue
» Spigot placed on hydrant at 250 Ohua Avenue
Motorists are advised to exercise caution on Ala Wai Boulevard and to use alternate routes.
Ho hum, another day, another water main break. Replace, don’t repair, they are over 50 years old!
