Excavation in Anini
Anini sits below the Princeville bluffs along Kauaʻi's longest fringing reef, narrow beach-road parcels, vacation rentals, and a tight band of homes that all sit inside the SMA.
Working on the ground in Anini
Reef-fronting coastal lots with high water table, sandy topsoil over coral pan, single-lane Anini Road access that limits truck size, and SMA review on essentially every job.
What we run here
Cesspool-to-IWS conversions on shoreline parcels, drainage retrofits, foundation excavation for rebuilds, and small-footprint trenching where the road shoulder is the only staging area.
Planning urgency categories near Anini
The Hawaiʻi Department of Health groups cesspools into planning urgency categories based on proximity to drinking water, streams, the coastline, and sensitive ecosystems. These categories help homeowners and agencies decide where to convert first. They are not legal deadlines for individual properties.
A planning urgency category (not a legal deadline). These systems are generally closest to drinking-water sources, streams, wetlands, or the coastline, so the Hawaiʻi DOH prioritization tool flags them to plan first.
The only enacted statewide cesspool deadline under Act 125 and HRS 342D-72 is January 1, 2050. Priority 1 and Priority 2 are planning urgency categories, not legal deadlines or property-specific determinations. For your parcel's category, consult the Hawaiʻi Cesspool Prioritization Tool or the DOH Wastewater Branch.
