County of Maui Water Supply

Sec. 2-2

Reservoirs

  (a) Subdividers shall install and pay for storage tanks, appurtenances,
      and pipeline from the tank site to the subdivision proper in accordance
      with the department of water supply standards or as approved by the
      director.  Storage tanks with a capacity of 100,000 gallons and over
      shall be of concrete construction. Storage tanks with a capacity of
      less than 100,000 gallons may be of wooden, steel, concrete, or other
      material as approved by the director.
        (1) Residential, hotel, apartment, business, industrial, airport,
            and commercial districts.  Storage capacity required shall be
            determined on the basis of fire flow duration, maximum daily
            flow, or 1,000 gallons per lot, whichever of these quantities is
            greater; provided that the requirement may be modified by the
            director, subject to approval by the board.
        (2) Rural and agricultural districts.  Storage capacity requirement
            shall be determined on the basis of 1,000 gallons per lot for
            rural and 2,000 gallons for agricultural districts.
  (b) Tank site lots, access road, and pipeline easements shall be dedicated
      to the board of water supply before final subdivision approval.
  (c) Whenever the subdivider is required to install a reservoir, together
      with appurtenances of greater capacity than is necessary to serve his
      subdivision, the department shall make a lump sum reimbursement to the
      subdivider of the difference in cost, excluding the cost of
      appurtenances, of such larger reservoir and the reservoir that would
      otherwise have been required; provided, however, that no reimbursement
      shall be made where such larger reservoir shall serve only areas of
      land under the same ownership as the subdivision in question.

  (d) [Where it is determined by the director that the subdivision does not
      warrant separate storage facilities or if the storage facilities are
      already available, the subdivider shall be assessed by the board for
      future storage.  Any such storage assessment shall be in an amount as
      provided for in the rates and fees of the department of water supply
      on file with the director.] Deleted 12/18/92.
  (e) [Storage assessment funds may be used for any public reservoir related
      construction or maintenance within the county of Maui.] Deleted 12/18/92.
