The Department of Water has scheduled a water service shutdown on a portion of Kekaha Road; between Mamo Road and Manu Road, including Akepa Road on Nov. 2, from approximately 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., weather permitting to conduct a hydrant valve installation.

Additionally, an intermittent lane closure near the intersection of Kekaha Road and Manu Road will be in place as needed to create a safe work zone. Motorists are advised to slow down when traveling in the area.

• Store water to meet their needs until water service can be restored.
• Notify neighbors, family and friends in the area of the shutdown.
