HCC §21-31
Sewer fees for homes and apartments
Read the official text at hawaiicounty.gov ↗This section says that every property that can connect to a public sewer or public gang cesspool must pay a sewer user charge, even if it is not connected. The charge is based on the fee schedule in another section. Empty units still pay a monthly maintenance fee equal to the regular monthly sewer fee.
