I forgot to mention that we also can provide financing for these systems and they are comparable in price (perhaps a few thousand more) to traditional septic systems. We'd like to see this problem in Hawaii solved as it affects us all.

I represent a local company (Bluewater Pacific) that sells and installs advanced treatment systems(Bluewater ATU) that are far better than cesspools and traditional septic systems. We're a local company looking to get the word out on upgrading cesspools to much more effective technology. Our systems allow for the reuse of "waste"water for irrigation of landscaping if desired. Here in Hawaii, cesspools are causing problems on all islands and it's nice to see some people taking the issue as seriously as we all should. We offer consulting, design, and install services. We'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.<br />For more info you can check out our basic website at www.bluewaterpacific.net, email me at jlawrence@bluewaterpacific.net, or give me a call at 808-383-9758.

Cesspools were ok before, because we didn't know any better and that's what was allowed for by law/ permit. Now we know better - as Dr. Maya Angelou would say, and we should DO better.<br />I, too, would need a loan, but would gladly participate in the personal expense for the greater good even though we are not selling and probably never will sell.<br />Pat Hunter-WilliamsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-82185942468582433102014-11-19T22:18:07.128-10:002014-11-19T22:18:07.128-10:00"God forbid you read the bill yourself before..."God forbid you read the bill yourself before pitching your hissyfit."<br /><br />Especially when it's not a bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-82838311674594977772014-11-19T20:38:45.818-10:002014-11-19T20:38:45.818-10:00Perhaps a State tax rebate similar to current sola...Perhaps a State tax rebate similar to current solar tax rebates to alleviate financial impact.<br />BTW, Surfrider has submitted testimony for changes to the law supporting replacement as well as Exec Comm members submitting personal testimony.<br />Robert Zelkovskynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-28501165847562813912014-11-19T18:32:34.980-10:002014-11-19T18:32:34.980-10:00God forbid you read the bill yourself before pitch...God forbid you read the bill yourself before pitching your hissyfit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-44915542634692292092014-11-19T17:45:33.202-10:002014-11-19T17:45:33.202-10:00Let everyone who wants a cleaner environment parti...Let everyone who wants a cleaner environment participate.

Houses like the teak house and Paskal house demonstrate the need for conversion to septic tanks. How massive oceanfront multimillion dollar vacation rentals are able to exist with their same old cesspool is ludicrous. 8 bathrooms and you're on a cesspool? ON the ocean?? What is the impact to the beautiful beaches and reefs of places like Haena??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875069982976812251.post-33600930608083661542014-11-19T10:39:09.791-10:002014-11-19T10:39:09.791-10:00But there aren't any corporations to rally aga...But there aren't any corporations to rally against, people we can call baby killers, so this won't get much traction. Real environmental issue on Kauai are ignored because no mainland organization is providing talking points and memes to share here.
