Wahikuli residents are strongly encouraged to attend the meeting, during which a preliminary site plan of the EPA sewer line locations will be shared.

The meeting will also include an update on the status of debris clearing by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, as well as a presentation from All Hands and Hearts regarding its new volunteer initiative, Lahaina Clean-Up Kōkua.
