Hawaii Water Service, a subsidiary of California Water Service Group, has requested an increase in water and sewer rates in its Kapalua system, aiming to recover $2.2 million in costs. The $3.4 million in infrastructure investments have improved water and wastewater systems, including critical upgrades and maintenance. The proposed rate increase would cover operating expenses, such as $1.7 million for water purchases, labor costs, and inflation, passing water costs directly to customers. If approved, new rates could take effect in the second half of 2026, enhancing service quality and reliability for Kapalua customers.
