Sewer firm still seeks increase
Hawai'i American Water, a privately owned sewer company serving Hawai'i Kai and parts of Kuli'ou'ou, expressed disappointment yesterday with the Consumer Advocate's office recommendation for a 3.5 percent rate decrease.
The company, which had sought an 18.6 percent increase, plans to provide information addressing state concerns in hopes of getting the increase.
