HRS §174-11
Setting water rates and selling extra water
The Board of Land and Natural Resources can set and change water rates and charges. The rates must cover the costs of running, maintaining, and replacing the water system, and may also cover capital costs. The Board can sell extra water to people outside the project if there is enough.

The statute, as written — Rate policy; sale of excess water
The board of land and natural resources shall have the power to fix and adjust rates and charges for the furnishing of domestic water and for water service so that the revenues derived therefrom may be sufficient to cover the cost of operation, maintenance, and replacement and may make such charges as may be necessary to cover the capital cost of the system or other costs incurred in connection with such system. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the board from selling water to persons other than land occupiers and other consumers within a water project in the event and to the extent that water in excess of the needs of the land occupiers and other consumers may from time to time be available.
