REQUESTING UTILITY PROVIDERS SERVING WAIʻANAE TO PUBLISH A PUBLICLY AVAILABLE REPORT EVALUATING THE CURRENT CAPACITY OF UTILITY SERVICES, THE EXPECTED LIFESPAN OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, AND THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS OF NECESSARY EXPANSIONS.

This House Resolution (HR 41) requests utility providers serving Wai’anae to publish an annual public report. The report must evaluate current utility capacity (water, electricity, sewage, etc.), the expected lifespan of existing infrastructure, and the costs for necessary expansions to meet community growth. It requires providers to include specific details like infrastructure nearing end-of-life, expansion cost estimates, upgrade timelines, and potential rate impacts. The resolution mandates the report be made publicly available and submitted to the Legislature 20 days before each session begins. (Note: This is a non-binding resolution, not a law, so it requests but does not require compliance.)
