Excavation in Kīlauea
Kīlauea is where Kauaʻi Excavation is based. We run jobs daily across the North Shore from the lighthouse corridor down through Kalihiwai and into Anini.
Working on the ground in Kīlauea
Wet North Shore climate, rich volcanic soil, and a mix of large ag parcels and newer subdivision builds. Many properties still on cesspools.
What we run here
Ag land clearing, farm road grading, foundation excavation, IWS septic installs replacing legacy cesspools, and storm drainage retrofits.
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 Kīlauea.
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.
statutory deadline: January 1, 2050
long-window zone, further from sensitive water sources. still requires conversion under act 125 by 2050.
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.
