Molokai Water Trouble
Molokai Ranch has announced that it will have to suspend operations of its water treatment and waste-water facilities to the western side of the island at the end of August. Ranch officials have met with resident associations and state representatives several times about the issue, but have been unsuccessful in transferring operations and assets for the water and sewage systems.
The ranch, owned by the Singapore-based Guoco Leisure, provides water to some 1,200 customers in West Molokai, including houses and businesses at the Kaluakoi Resort and Maunaloa town. The company was forced to close after a planned expansion for a 200 home luxury development in Laau was put on hold by area residents. Ranch officials have said that its water and sewage firms do not have the funds necessary to cover their operating costs since the closure.
