Hawaii Water to acquire wastewater system assets of Keauhou Community Services

Hawaii Water Service (Hawaii Water) has signed an agreement to buy wastewater system assets of Keauhou Community Services (KCSI) and provide wastewater utility service at Keauhou, in the Island of Hawaii.

This acquisition is subject to due diligence and approval of Hawaii Public Utilities Commission.

Along with the Keauhou Bay Facility and Kahaluu Beach Park, KCSI serves over 1,500 residential, hotel, and commercial customers.

It also provides effluent to Kona Country Club for golf course irrigation.

Through an operation and maintenance contract, Hawaii Water has been operating the Keauhou system since 2018.

Hawaii Water said that it will continue to invest in local wastewater system infrastructure to protect the environment and provide reliable service to its consumers.

Hawaii Water group president and CEO said: “We appreciate KCSI’s confidence and trust in us to continue providing reliable, high-quality service to its Keauhou customers. We look forward to providing Keauhou residents, businesses, and visitors the same quality, service, and value all of our customers on the islands have come to expect and deserve, both now and for generations to come.”

Hawaii Water delivers water and wastewater service to many communities located on Maui, Oahu, and the Big Island of Hawaii.

Hawaii Water is a wholly owned subsidiary of California Water Service Group, which also includes California Water Service, New Mexico Water Service, Washington Water Service, and more.

Together, these firms offer regulated and non-regulated utility service to over two million people in over 100 communities in California, New Mexico, Washington, and Hawaii.
