Maui residents have a chance to weigh in about the future of their island’s water supply.
Over the next week, six community meetings will be held across Maui in a collaboration between the county’s Department of Water Supply and the national nonprofit US Water Alliance. The meetings will focus on the island’s drinking water supply.
Residents are invited to learn about potential water supply options and share their vision. The free, open-house style events will also feature food, refreshments and family-friendly activities.
