Public Education Programs

The Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) provides safe, dependable and affordable water now and into the future.

To meet this mission, the BWS offers public education programs via online meetings to help others understand and learn about Oahu's water resources. We continue to monitor the situation around the pandemic and will update this website when we are able to conduct in-person events.

Speaker Requests

Interest in our programs continues to grow. Requests should be made at least three weeks in advance. Meeting appointments depend on speaker availability. Please email your requests to tours@hbws.org. We will reply as soon as we can.
