WATER USE AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Maul Department of Water Supply is in the process of updating its Water Use and Development Plan (WUDP). According to Hawaii state law, each county is required to prepare, periodically update and adopt by ordinance a WUDP to serve as the long-range planning blueprint for all uses of water in each county. Each plan must also be approved by the State of Hawaii's Commission on Water Resource Management (CWRM). Each county in Hawaii prepared and approved a WUDP for the year 1990. Maui County requires a WUDP update each time the County General Plan is amended or revised.
