NOTES

  1. This report is to provide the reader with information on the Department's Upcountry Water Systems.
  2. Available Surface Water Supply
    1. Wailoa Ditch maximum flow is 199.7 million gallons per day.
    2. Figures for the Waikamoi Reservoir includes two reservoirs. The total storage capacity (both reservoirs) is 30 million gallons.
    3. Figures for the Kahakapao Reservoir includes two reservoirs. The total storage capacity (both reservoirs) is 100 million gallons.
    4. Piiholo Reservoir has a storage capacity of 50 million gallons.
    5. The amount in the total column is obtained by adding the quantities for Waikamoi, Kahakapao, and Piiholo Reservoirs.
  3. Surface Water Demand
    1. The numbers under the heading TREATMENT FACILITY represent the quantity of water sent out from the respective plants.
    2. The figure under the heading "Kamole to Piiholo Pumping" represents the quantity of water pumped from the Kamole Plant into the untreated water reservoir at Piiholo.
    3. The actual demand on the Kamole Plant is the amount shown less the "Kamole to Piiholo Pumping" amount.
    4. The total column is obtained by adding the demand quantities for the three plants less the amount pumped into the Piiholo Reservoir from Kamole WTF.
  4. Total water used for the day is the sum of Surface Water Production plus Groundwater Production.
  5. Rounding differences may result in this report.
  6. Legend:
    1. * = Not including pumpage from ML&P into Wailoa Ditch
    2. ** = Waikamoi reading is one day late
    3. MGD = Million Gallons per Day
    4. MG = Million Gallons
    5. % = Percentage of Total Capacity
