What's Being Discussed

• Approval of meeting minutes from the previous Kalaeloa Board meeting held on October 7, 2026.
• A proposed seawater desalination facility in Kapolei — The board will consider whether to formally support the City and County of Honolulu Board of Water Supply's plan to build a facility that converts seawater into drinking water. The proposed site is at 91-447 Olai Street, Kapolei.
• Executive Director's monthly report, including an update on recently approved permit applications that did not require a public hearing.

Decisions Expected

• The board is expected to vote on whether to authorize the Executive Director to officially agree with the City and County of Honolulu's plan for the Kalaeloa seawater desalination facility. This is a formal step required under Hawaii state law (HRS Section 206E-13) before the project can move forward within the HCDA's jurisdiction.

Who Should Pay Attention

• Kapolei and Kalaeloa area residents, especially those interested in local water supply infrastructure.
• Property owners and businesses near the proposed desalination site on Olai Street.
• Environmental advocates concerned about land use and water resource development in the Kalaeloa community development district.
