PWS is evaluating responsible, long-term pathways to restore the system and put it on sustainable footing. The priority is durable recovery: repairing and rebuilding the infrastructure, and structuring the system so it can be maintained properly for the community that depends on it.

What we are evaluating

• Public-purpose infrastructure funding
• Nonprofit and community-based utility structures
• USDA and other infrastructure-finance pathways
• Repair and long-term sustainability — not short-term patchwork

We are evaluating federal, nonprofit, and infrastructure-finance pathways to support long-term system recovery.

This work is deliberate and ongoing. The aim is a water and wastewater system that is safe, compliant, and sustainable for Punaluʻu — for this generation and the next.
