Hawaii’s Groundbreaking Wastewater Project Officially Unveiled

The completion of Hawaii’s largest ever wastewater system upgrade was formally announced last week by Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell. The project cost $375 million. Following a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Consent Decree to improve Windward Oahu’s sewage collections and treatment system by June 2018, engineering and construction firm Brown and Caldwell worked with the city and county of Honolulu and its team of construction partners to deliver the Kaneohe-Kailua Wastewater Conveyance and Treatment Facilities Project on an accelerated schedule and within budget. The solution involved connecting the Kaneohe Wastewater Pre-Treatment Facility (KWWPTF) to the Kailua Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (KRWWTP)
