Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Third State Legislature

Regular Session of 2006

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Intergovernmental Affairs and Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 195 entitled:

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Honolulu Board of Water Supply to work with the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii on the replacement of the Waiahole Valley Water System and for the Board of Water Supply to accept dedication of the upgraded water system.

The Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii, the Waiahole-Waikane Community Association, and two individuals submitted testimony in support of this measure. The Honolulu Board of Water Supply submitted comments.

Your Committees find that the City and County of Honolulu Board of Water Supply has the necessary technical experience that the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii lacks, and therefore the two agencies should work together to replace the Waiahole Valley water system.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Intergovernmental Affairs and Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 195 and recommend that it be referred to the Committee on Water, Land, and Agriculture.
