Sewage Moratorium and the Senior Center

By /

Good on Hawaii News Now for continuing to dig on the impacts of the city’s new sewage hookup moratorium from Halawa to Pearl City.

Thursday, it was the proposed redevelopment of the old Kam Drive-In.

Now, a proposed senior center could be held up. From the story:

MW Group plans to construct its fourth senior living facility on Oahu under The Plaza brand and open in early 2014, but a city issued moratorium on new sewer connections from Halawa to Pearl City threatens the project. MW Group’s request for a permit allowing it to hook-up to the sewer system was rejected and upgrades that would allow the permit to be granted will not be finished until 2018.

“We got to work through this,” said Steve Metter, CEO of MW Group.
