BWS Farrington Projects
The Board of Water Supply (BWS) is working on vital water main replacement projects along Farrington Highway to replace a transmission main that carries approximately 60% of the drinking water into the Leeward Coast. We understand that Farrington Highway is the sole artery for the Leeward community, so we have created this web page to provide weekly project and traffic updates.
Additionally, you can call 748-5310 to get weekly voice recordings with the information. If you have further questions about this construction project, please call the BWS construction section at 748-5730. We appreciate the community's patience and understanding as we work on these critical water system improvement projects.
