Excavation in Hāʻena
Hāʻena sits at the end of Kūhiō Highway on Kauaʻi's North Shore — a 2030 Act 125 priority cesspool conversion zone where every legacy cesspool near the coast and Limahuli watershed needs to come out before the deadline.
Working on the ground in Hāʻena
Saturated coastal and alluvial soils, one-lane bridges limiting equipment size, frequent road closures from rain or surf, and strict SMA (Special Management Area) review on every job near the shoreline.
What we run here
Cesspool-to-IWS conversions ahead of the 2030 deadline, elevated foundation pads, drainage and french-drain installs, and limited-access excavation on end-of-road parcels.
Your cesspool priority zone
the hawaiʻi department of health classifies every cesspool on the island into a priority zone based on proximity to drinking water, streams, the coastline, and sensitive ecosystems. here is what shows up inside Hāʻena.
working target: convert by 2030
high-priority zone, these cesspools sit closest to drinking water wells, streams, the coastline, or sea-level rise zones. flagged for fastest conversion.
2030 and 2035 are working targets recommended by the hawaiʻi cesspool conversion working group and reflected in kauaʻi county's grant prioritization. the only deadline in current law is january 1, 2050 under act 125. zone assignments are read from the doh prioritization tool.
