The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Sewer user charges based on flat rate
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Hawaiʻi County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The director may establish a flat rate for sewer services for sewered properties (residential and/or nonresidential) utilizing public or private water systems. The flat rates may be based upon the amount of water actually consumed and drawn through the water meters of the private system, or in the absence of meters, based upon a reasonable estimate of the water consumption with due consideration to the type and nature of the premises. This flat rate shall be reviewed annually.
