BWS will continue to provide water service to the community and wants to emphasize that the water is safe to drink. The water system is a closed pressurized system and it is nearly impossible to introduce foreign objects, bacteria or viruses into the system. The water is disinfected with chlorine at levels that are effective in killing bacteria and viruses. Testing is conducted daily to ensure disinfection levels are maintained and the water is safe to drink.
The BWS is committed to the community and to public health and encourages anyone seeking more information about the coronavirus to sign up for email updates at the Hawaii Department of Health website, https://hawaiicovid19.com.
As per our existing practice, any BWS-related news and information will be shared on our website, through social media and HNL.info.
