Water security for future generations.
For over a century, Maui’s water systems have been controlled by large corporations, despite the fact that our water is legally defined as a Public Trust. This era of corporate water control has been defined by a lack of accountability, maintenance, and investment – leading to mismanagement and waste of our public water. With an uncertain climate future and more frequent droughts, Maui residents must take control of our public water supply, not leave our water future in corporate hands.
In the November election, there is a once in a generation ballot measure to establish Maui County Community Water Authorities, which will create and implement a new vision for how our water systems are managed and how our watersheds are protected for our children, our grandchildren, and their grandchildren.
