Waimanalo well facility gets OK

A Board of Water Supply project to build a facility and access road for Waimanalo Well 3 has the green light to proceed, after a final environmental assessment received a finding of no significant impact to the environment.

The project will construct a building for the well, a 20,000-gallon tank and a chain-link fence around the facility, located 0.6 mile south-southeast of the former Meadow Gold Dairy.
