Unfortunately, we’re now finding out that news for Lahaina and Kula residents has gotten “even worse.”
“We’re experiencing, now, an issue with the water supply. We’re being told that the water is not safe to drink. It’s also not safe after boiling, which is quite frightening. And we don’t know how long these restrictions are going to be lasting on the public.”
Officials in Maui are even saying that even with a water filter, the water still may be unsafe:
It has been reported that the potable water brought in by the government is “making people ill.”
“We’re also hearing that the potable water being brought in by government officials is making people ill for whatever reason. They’re experiencing fevers, chills, and other ailments from drinking this potable water that’s been left. So I really urge you guys to please be careful on ingesting this water, and where you’re getting it from.”
One Facebook user reported getting “super sick” from drinking the government-provided water. “Extremely ill, 104 fevers, and still ill/careful.”
