Maui Reservoir 84, also known as Hc&S Reservoir 84, is a private water storage facility located in Puunene, Maui, Hawaii.
Built in 1918, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The reservoir primarily serves the purpose of irrigation and is fed by an irrigation ditch, making it a crucial resource for sustaining agriculture in the region.
Despite its historical significance and vital role in supporting local agriculture, Maui Reservoir 84 faces challenges related to its condition assessment, with a poor rating and a high hazard potential. The last inspection in August 2020 revealed the need for improvements and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure. With a moderate risk assessment rating, there is a pressing need for proactive risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the long-term functionality of this essential water resource.
As a key component of the water infrastructure in Maui, stakeholders and regulatory agencies, including the DLNR, play a crucial role in overseeing the operations, inspections, and enforcement related to Maui Reservoir 84. With its strategic location and historical significance, this reservoir serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges and responsibilities associated with managing water resources in the context of climate change and increasing demands for sustainable water management practices in Hawaii.
