Hawaiian Electric proposes to conduct underground electrical work in order to provide permanent electrical service for the new Hale Kewalo affordable housing project, located on 1235 Kona Street. The proposed underground construction work will be on the Piikoi Street sidewalk. For the safety of the crew and the public, Hawaiian Electric needs to shut down circuits during the work. To minimize the impact, Hawaiian Electric plans to conduct the activities at night when the electric load is expected to be at its lowest load.

Hawaiian Electric would like to work for two (2) nights during the following hours: from midnight to 7:00 AM and from 6:00 PM to midnight on weekdays. One night will be scheduled between August 1, 2018 and August 23, 2018. Another night will be scheduled between September 11, 2018 and September 30, 2018.

The Department of Health will retain and consider all written comments received not later than thirty (30) days after the date of this notice. If the comments received warrant it, the Department may hold a public hearing, after at least thirty (30) days public notice, on the variance application. The final decision will be made on the basis of the application, related documents, written comments, and the public hearing, if any.
