What This Committee Does

The Water and Infrastructure Committee reviews legislation affecting the Maui Department of Water Supply, wastewater systems, solid waste programs, and general infrastructure maintenance. It considers water rate structures, capital projects for water system upgrades, and county response to drought and water availability concerns across all three islands.

Why You Should Care

Water is a critical and constrained resource in Hawaii. This committee makes decisions that affect water rates, who gets priority access during drought conditions, and how the county invests in aging infrastructure. Farmers, residents facing service gaps, and environmental advocates all have interests in these decisions.
