  • On March 11, 2023 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) completed inspecting 17 miles of sanitary sewer lines in Lahaina, EPA cleared debris, such as sediment, rocks, rags, and grease from the lines. Once cleared, a robotic camera was used to assess conditions of the lines and identify any impacts from the fire. This video footage was shared with the County for review. The County is now working with their consultant to analyze the footage. Once the County receives this report, the Department of Environmental Management (DEM)

    Wastewater Reclamation Division (WWRD) will utilize the findings to prioritize emergency repairs of damage caused by the August 2023 wildfires, including repairs needed to protect the wastewater treatment plant from excess infiltration of water through damaged sewer pipes.

  • You will be allowed to start construction of your home even if sewer service is not restored. The County will strive to have your sewer service restored by the time your home construction is complete. If service is not restored by the time your home construction is complete, you may not be allowed to inhabit your home or will have to provide the County with plans outlining an alternate means of disposing of your wastewater (i.e. portable toilets) until sewer services are restored.
