WAI: Wastewater Alternatives & Innovations

Hawai‘i has over 88,000 cesspools that discharge over 53 million gallons a day of raw sewage into Hawai‘i’s waters. These cesspools and failing septic systems contaminate drinking water, ruin underground aquifers and pollute marine environments. WAI: is the acronym for Wastewater Alternatives and Innovations and “Wai” is also the Hawaiian word for water. Our vision is to help Hawai?i homeowners and communities manage the difficult process of upgrading cesspools and failing septic systems across the state to new systems that are affordable, efficient and better for the environment. WAI focuses on 5 Pillars: - Innovative Technology - Financial Resources - Policy
