This powerpoint presentation outlines an effort by the Kauai Grove Farm Project to convert from groundwater to surface water as the sugar plantation itself was converted from agricultural use to a new housing development. The potential for new developments was restricted
by a limited groundwater supply in the
Lihue/Puhi area of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. In February 2004 a partnership was created between Grove Farm and the Kauai Department of Water (DOW) that resulted in a water purchase agreement where
Grove Farm proposed to take the lead in building
a Surface Water Purification Facility.
In response to transitional concerns about the affect, if any, that
new surface water will
have on a
distribution system
conditioned for
decades to
groundwater, Grove Farm Company and
Kauai DOW commissioned a study to
provide real-time potential impacts to
customers in their homes, and
examine conditions of
release of galvanized
service line tuberculation. Topics addressed include: plantation home test site; testing and sampling; six phases of the test schedule; field water quality results; corrosion inhibitor description; purification facility process; and, implementation of study recommendation to
feed inhibitor results in successful transition. Includes tables, figures.
