The ordinance, as written (Hawaiʻi County) — Findings and purpose
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.
Section 21-5, requires connection to the sewer of lots accessible to a sewer. The connection cost may be financially burdensome for many owners. Therefore, the council finds that, in order to assure that all possible lots are connected to the sewer to meet Federal and State requirements, it is in the public interest to create, in cooperation with a bank or other financial institution, a program by which the County of Hawai‘i assists owners to connect to the sewer by guaranteeing loans for this purpose. The guaranteed loan program would allow the owner to get a County-guaranteed loan from the bank or other financial institution after it agrees that the County of Hawai‘i shall place a lien on the property at the time the loan closes. The lien would be for the loan amount and related fees and costs. The County of Hawai‘i would guarantee the bank or other financial institution that it will pay the balance of the loan in full should the owner default on the loan. This law shall cover the sewer connections which will be required in the following increments: Waiākea Houselots 110 lots Waiākea Mill Pond 100 lots Ainako “A” 114 lots Kalaniana‘ole Laterals 125 lots Ainako “B” 93 lots (Optional Hookups) 100 lots Ali‘i Drive “A” — “F” 200 lots Honoka‘a 106 lots (1992, ord 92-136, sec 1; am 2008, ord 08-117, sec 1; am 2012, ord 12-10, sec 2.)21-37
