More Homes to Come, But where is the water coming from?
As Wailea 670 is approved the builders are getting excited….I stand in fear of having no water! I went on a field trip the other day with a class from Maui Lani to Central Maui in Waiehu and found out some interesting information that many people may not know! There were actually wetlands that formed at the base of the West Maui Mountains years ago. Our guide told our group that long ago the water would pool up and then at times run into the sea. Where did the water go??? The children asked. “Kihei”, he said…they divert all the water to Kihei and now the land is being exposed to non-native plants and more. Embarrassed (I live in Kihei), I felt this sense of guilt coming over me as these lands have been changed too much.
I ask the county and the people of Maui, Where will our water come from? I think, like the Virgin Islands, each hotel should have to distill the sea water for use in thier entire location. This would allow for the land to start to come back to its original intended state and balance with nature.
As Wailea 670 get underway….where is the low income housing? Oh yeah, in North Kihei and thats thier second phase of the project. Backwards on Maui????- Mary on Maui
