Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2005

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.R. No. 166, H.D. 1, entitled:

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this resolution is to request the Department of Health to review and strengthen its water quality standards and practices for public notification on Maui by water systems administrators.

Your Committee wishes to note that water quality may also be a problem in other areas of the State. Makakilo, for instance, is one region where residents must have their plumbing replaced relatively often due to the quality of the water.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 166, H.D. 1, and recommends its adoption.
