Why We Invested
To promote innovative solutions reducing the need for cesspools in Hawaii
It’s estimated that Hawaii has more than 88,000 cesspools that discharge approximately 53 million gallons of raw sewage per day into Hawaii’s waters. These cesspools and failing septic systems contaminate drinking water, harm underground aquifers, and pollute marine environments. A pilot program was launched to employ innovative sanitation technology at a Priority 1 cesspool conversion zone, as defined by the Hawaii Department of Health.
