USACE to begin critical sewer project in West Maui

LAHAINA, Hawaii (KHON2) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will start a critical sewer line project for the Kilohana temporary housing development on Monday, August 12.

The Lahaina Emergency Sewer System project will support 169 housing units for wildfire survivors.

_{Intersection closures and alternate access routes should be expected during the ongoing project:}

_{August 12 to September 13: The Fleming Rd/Honoapiilani Hwy intersection will be closed.}

^{September 13 to November 8: Access from Fleming Rd/Lower Cane Rd to Fleming Rd/Ainakea Rd will be restricted to construction vehicles and residents.}

According to USACE, the installation of the permanent sewer line will have a lasting benefit to Lahaina and the Wahikuli neighborhood. The transition from cesspools to a public sewer system is more sanitary and efficient.
