Project will interfere with water, traffic

MAKAWAO - A waterline replacement project will intermittently disrupt traffic and water service in Makawao beginning Feb. 15, according to an announcement from the Department of Water Supply.

Motorists are asked to use caution and follow traffic directions while work is conducted between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on weekdays. Maui contractor Maui Master Builders Inc. will replace 2,950 feet of waterline, fire hydrants and service laterals on Pookela Road, Ai Street, Kehau Place, Malu Place, Mole Place and Miner Place.

The $674,400 capital improvement project will replace deteriorated waterlines that are undersized to provide sufficient fire protection for the surrounding residences. Design of the project was completed by R. T. Tanaka Engineers Inc.

The waterline replacement project should be completed by the end of August.

All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the National Association of REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR "®" logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.

Why Use a REALTOR®?

Can a real estate agent really help me in buying and selling property?
The answer is YES!

When you're ready to think about buying or selling your property, you need to ask yourself the following questions: Do you have the time, energy, sources of information, and contacts to do the job yourself? If you were one of the 'do-it-your-self' people, would the results be as good or better than they would be if you had professional assistance? Would it have gone smoother? Would it have given you more personal time? Would you have purchased for less, or sold for more, if a real estate agent was involved? 

How do I pay for Refuse Service?

The Kihei Community Association purchased 10 park benches for the new Kalama Park pedestrian trail.

Funds for the project were donated by businesses and community members, and the benches were accepted as a donation by the Maui County Council.

Five of the benches already have been installed, based on locations suggested by the community and the county Department of Parks and Recreation.
