During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the absence of a water subsidy for the community in the upcoming budget. A representative highlighted the growing population and the increasing demand for resources, emphasizing that the county planning department is considering the establishment of a new district to accommodate this growth.

The representative pointed out that the majority of the population must traverse critical areas, such as the Hawaiian harbor, to access essential services in Waimea, Waipa Loa, and Kona. This situation has exacerbated traffic issues and raised alarms about the community's limited water supply. The discussion underscored the urgent need for addressing infrastructure and resource allocation to support the expanding population effectively.
