"The Department of Health has identified an inaccuracy in the map shared by the Honolulu Board of Water Supply regarding the impacted water system. To ensure clarity and accuracy, DOH has created an updated map that correctly reflects the public water system affected by the initial detection.

The updated map excludes PWS 355 Barbers Point, which is currently operated and owned by Hawaii Water Service (HWS). Customers of HWS are not subject to the notice and receive their water from another source.

Individuals with questions about whether they are in the impacted service area should contact the Board of Water Supply."
