Waikiki Sewer Improvement Project

While unrelated to the Waikiki Sewer project activities (i.e., we were not the contractors referenced in the article), we thought this would be of interest to our followers.

The Waikīkī Sewer website (www.waikikisewer.com) was originally established in May 2012 to provide the public information as to upcoming construction and traffic activities related to the rehabilitation of Waikīkī’s sewer system along Kūhiō Avenue. That initial project ended in August 2013.

The City and County of Honolulu has decided to maintain this website and its related email newsletter and social media sites for the purpose of providing the public and stakeholders information about additional Waikīkī sewer projects.

Currently, the City and County of Honolulu, Department of Design and Construction (DCC) and Department of Environmental Services (ENV) will be repairing 78 linear feet of 20-inch diameter cast iron pipe of the existing Fort DeRussy Sewer Force Main (FM) with a cured-in-place pipe liner. The FM segment being repaired extends from the flow meter box at the Fort DeRussy Pump Station to a 90-degree elbow (est pit 1), located in the mauka (mountain side) travel lane of Kalākaua Avenue between Keoniana Street and Kuamo‘o Street. Air release valves (ARVs) will also be installed in the FM at two locations along Kalākaua Avenue in order to relieve surge pressures in the pipe.

Phase 1 of this project began in November 2013 and expected to last for approximately a duration of four weeks.

The Waikīkī Sewer website has been updated with information regarding this latest project.

Traffic control will be set up on Kalākaua Avenue between Keoniana Street and Kuamo‘o Street. One East bound lane will be closed. Drivers will still be able to access Kalākaua Avenue and Kūhiō Avenue from Kalākaua Avenue. Drivers will still be able to make left turns onto Keoniana Street and Kuamo‘o Street from Kalākaua Avenue.

Please feel free to contact us with questions regarding this new project at [email protected] or at the contact information provided on the website. Thank you for your continued support and patience as the City works to rehabilitate Waikīkī's sewer infrastructure. We look forward to continuing to serve the Waikīkī community.
