Kaneohe FAQ
Does Kaneohe's high rainfall exempt it from drought stages?
No. BWS shortage declarations apply islandwide and are tied to aquifer health, not local rainfall alone. Kaneohe users follow the same stage rules.
Can Kaneohe homeowners wash driveways during drought?
Declared stages commonly prohibit potable hose washing of hard surfaces. Use a bucket, broom, or a recycled water source when permitted.
Mililani Mauka FAQ
Are watering days mandatory in Mililani Mauka?
Only when BWS declares a shortage stage. Normal operations have no fixed watering days, though BWS encourages early morning irrigation year round.
Does the Mauka HOA adjust common-area irrigation?
Yes. During BWS shortage stages, the Mililani Mauka Community Association adjusts park and streetscape irrigation schedules to match city-wide restrictions.
