Water Restrictions Imposed in South Point Following Hurricane Nolo Damage
What happened
Due to power outages and possible water system infrastructure damage from Hurricane Nolo, the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply is asking South Point customers to limit water use to essential needs only. Customers must temporarily avoid non-essential use such as irrigation, washing vehicles, or filling pools.

Why it matters
The infrastructure damage requires crews to assess and stabilize the water system, which may result in low water pressure or intermittent service. This limits available water supply for residents and businesses in South Point.
