West Maui Development Threatens To Swamp County Water Department

The fever to wring as much money as possible from the fallow sugar and pasture lands of picturesque West Maui is putting the squeeze on the county's Department of Water Supply. Anticipated development on that side of the island is "very high," according to county officials, and the DWS will undoubtedly need to expand its minimal 9-well system there to keep up. "In my mind, it's going to be the next critical area," DWS director George Tengan says.
