Wastewater

• Wastewater is treated by:• 4 municipal treatment plants• 5 large private systems• 40+ small package treatment systems• 14,000 cesspools

• Current wastewater generated is 6.71 mgd (not incl. IWS).• Public and private capacity projected to 2035 is 10.79 mgd. • Possible deficit of 1.87 mgd in 2035.• Future Decisions:

• Cesspools – replaced with septic systems, sewer connections, or both?

• Upgrade treatment plants to generate more water for recycling.• Discontinue the ocean outfall and add a new injection well.• Sewer rate study is underway.

Solid Waste

• As of 2015, there were 665,995 cubic yards of remaining space available in the landfill at Kekaha.

• The landfill can accept waste for another five years at the current rate of waste generation.

• 44% of waste generated was diverted in 2015. • A Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) is needed to achieve the

target of 70%.

• The permitting is underway to extend the life of the landfill for another three years.

• The County is also working on securing the State’s approval to begin constructing a new landfill.

Parks and Recreation

• By 2035, it is estimated that there will be sufficient park land islandwide to meet the needs of the resident and visitor population.

• Līhu‘e has adequate developed and undeveloped acreage for parks, as does Waimea-Kekaha and Hanapēpē-Ele’ele (a combined recreational district).

• Additional park lands would be desirable South Kaua‘i, North Shore, and East Kaua‘i districts.

• Nine multi-use Neighborhood Centers provide recreational and social functions, and can be reserved by public for a fee.

16

Parks and Recreation (cont’d)

Future Concerns:• Identifying sources of funds in addition to Park

Dedication Fees, which on their own will not service the recreational needs of the existing population.

• Regulations hamper park production and improvement, e.g., parks often exceed lot coverage requirements in the “open” district; use permits are needed in the “Special Treatment – Public” district.

Public Utilities• KIUC Board of Directors adopted a goal to use

renewable resources to generate at least 50% of Kaua‘i’s energy by 2023.

• The State’s Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) is in the process of mapping unserved and underserved telecommunication areas.

• Unserved areas include Anahola, Kekaha, Waimea, and Wailua.

• Kauai’s mountainous terrain makes it difficult to build the infrastructure to reach the rural areas.

Infrastructure Adequacy Projection

(2035)

Wastewater .96 mgdsurplus

Water (pumping capacity)

-2.78 mgddeficit

- The Puhi Wastewater Treatment Plant is a private system. It can be expanded from 1.0 MGD to 3.0 MGD if needed in the future.

Note: A “surplus” capacity of wastewater assumes that all existing cesspools are active and adequate, when in reality many are not.

40

Infrastructure Adequacy Projection

(2035)

Wastewater -1.62 deficit

Water (pumping capacity)

same: -1.62 deficit

- A 1.0 MGD well in Kōloa was recently constructed by DOW

- Designated growth areas in Po'ipū could provide impetus for a regional Wastewater Treatment Plant

Infrastructure Funding

45

• Generally, private developers pay for extending water and wastewater infrastructure.

• Cesspools and septic tanks are maintained / replaced by individual private property owners.

• If a property is in an existing service area with infrastructure capacity, owners must pay connection fees.

• User fees fund the operation of water and sewer infrastructure. • Generally, solid waste operations are funded by tax revenues

and commercial tipping fees. A General Obligation Bond will likely pay for the construction of a new landfill and materials recycling facility.

• County public services, such as fire and police, are paid for through property taxes.

• State public services, such as schools and libraries, are paid for through the State’s tax revenues.

Integration of the Findings in the General Plan

• The General Plan Update will include sections on Infrastructure and Public Services.

• The Infrastructure analysis will help inform the land use map, growth scenarios, policies and implementing actions.

Question 4:

Is the information in the Infrastructure Map helpful? How could it be used and improved upon?

Should the General Plan have an additional map showing which critical infrastructures are in vulnerable areas or impacted by sea level rise?

51

Question 5:

Discuss possible County policies for wastewater. Should specific (new) policies be given in the General Plan or in future Infrastructure plans for:

-County funded WWTP-Cesspools-Private systems-Recycled water
