Haiku residents asked to conserve water after well breaks down

Aug 24, 2026

A broken well has left part of Maui's Haiku area short on water, which is bad news for residents there until crews finish repairs.

  • A well serving Haiku is out of service, and people are being asked to cut back on water use.
  • Homes in the West Kuiaha and Awalau areas may see weak water pressure or lose service entirely.
  • Water Department crews are working to get the well back online.
  • Trucks with drinking water are being sent to the affected neighborhoods in the meantime.

Outlook: Service should return once repairs are done, but residents should expect low pressure and rely on the water trucks until then.
