SB 1239 Hawaii Senate · 2026 Regular Session

RELATING TO WATER CONSERVATION.

SB 1239 prohibits using drinkable water (potable water) for irrigating golf courses, primarily affecting municipal golf courses that rely on public water systems. The bill includes limited exceptions for specific situations but does not detail them in the abstract. It also defines "potable water" to clarify which water sources are restricted. This policy aims to conserve municipal drinking water resources by requiring alternative water sources for irrigation.
