Prevedouros: Water Mains Break Daily

By /

At a mayoral debate hosted by the Commercial Real Estate Developers Association Thursday, candidate Panos Prevedouros said: “In the last four years, the average of water main breaks is 364, one a day.”

Is it possible that Honolulu’s water main infrastructure is that fragile?

Apparently, yes.

According to Hawaii Board of Water Supply spokeswoman Moani Wright-Van Alst, “Between 2005 and 2009, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply had an average of 364 water main breaks.”

Nicely done, Mr. Prevedouros.
