HRS §174C-47
How to change or cancel a water management area
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section explains how the boundaries of a water management area can be changed or the whole area can be cancelled. The process can be started by the chairperson or by a petition from someone with proper standing. The procedure is basically the same as the one used to create the area.

A copy, taken August 20, 2026. The version published by the Legislature is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The modification of the boundaries or the rescinding of existing water management areas by the commission may be initiated by the chairperson or by a petition to the commission by any person with proper standing. The procedure for modifying the boundaries of an existing water management area or for rescinding an existing water management area shall be substantially similar to that for the designation of a water management area.
