Excavation in Wailua
Wailua is the river corridor between Kapaʻa and Līhuʻe, one of the densest legacy cesspool zones on Kauaʻi, with parcels that sit right on top of the Wailua River and its tributaries.
Working on the ground in Wailua
Very high water table along the Wailua River and Opaekaʻa, soft alluvial soils that fail percolation tests near the bank, and SMA + cultural review near every coastal and riverfront parcel.
What we run here
Cesspool-to-IWS conversion site work under Hawaiʻi Act 125 (statewide January 1, 2050 deadline), raised drain-field designs for high water-table sites, foundation pads, drainage retrofits, and trenching for water and sewer runs.
Planning urgency categories near Wailua
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.
A planning urgency category (not a legal deadline). These systems are close to sensitive water sources but outside the Priority 1 buffer. The DOH tool suggests planning early.
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.
