Work begins on Wahikuli Subdivision sewer design following 2023 Maui wildfires

(UI) – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started work on the Wahikuli Subdivision sewer design project, north of Lahaina Town, Maui.

EPA’s Wahikuli Sewer Design Team will conduct an onsite visit of the Wahikuli Subdivision on September 26, 2024.

This initiative comes in response to a request from the County of Maui on January 13, 2024, for FEMA technical assistance. Through a FEMA Mission Assignment, EPA was asked to provide support with planning and designing a proposed gravity sewer system for the Wahikuli subdivision, which comprises approximately 230 properties currently serviced by individual wastewater systems, including cesspools and septic systems.

The scope of work for this project includes:

• Conducting an environmental review, including cultural and biological consultations, and seeking public input on the proposed project.
• Drafting pre-construction design, with public input opportunities, and engineering plans to 100% completion following the environmental review.
• Holding regular meetings with the County of Maui and providing periodic public updates via the weekly County of Maui Disaster Recovery Community Update Meeting throughout the project period.
