Pago Pago, AMERICAN SAMOA — During a time period from May 21, 2023 to June 2, 2023, the Department of Public Safety’s Criminal Investigation Division (CID) received reports of

Areas where the boil water advisory is lifted are: a section of Kula Highway from Lepelepe Place to Mālamahale Place, Lepelepe Place, Malia Uli Place and Mālamahale Place.

For the chlorine to reach the furthest points of the water system, it may take up to seven days. Chlorine is already used as a disinfectant in the Lower Kula and Makawao water systems. Upcountry customers in Olinda, Lower Kula and Makawao are not affected.

The Maui County Department of Water Supply will switch its water distribution disinfectant from chloramines to chlorine beginning Jan. 10 in an attempt to clear away trace amounts of E. coli from the Upper Kula water system.

The boil water advisory will remain in effect until the daily water sample testing shows that the tap water meets public health standards.

The Maui County Department of Water Supply has extended the Upcountry boil water advisory to Lepelepe Place, Mālamahale Place and Malia Uli Place, according to an updated issued on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 30, 2021. The department recommends residents boil water for at least a minute before consumption as a precaution against possible bacteria in tap water.

Residents of Naʻalae Road were added back to the County of Maui’s Boil Water Advisory list today, Dec 29, 2021. The area was previously removed from the list, but was added back today because the department is conducting maintenance in the area, replacing standpipes, and flushing lines.

The Maui County Department of Water Supply said a boil water advisory continues for residents of Waipoli and Polipoli roads. Residents of Lower Kula Road between Naʻalae and Waipoli roads are also advised to boil water as a precaution until further notice.

The department also has conducted additional testing and residents of Lower Kula Road are now advised to boil water as a precaution until further notice.

The boil water advisory will remain in effect until the daily water sample testing shows that the tap water meets public health standards.
