Facility Violates Safe Drinking Water Act On Oct. 22, 2022, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fined two Hawaii island businesses nearly $72,000 and required them to close their illegal, large-ca- pacity cesspools that violate the Safe Drinking Water Act. Large-capacity cess- pools, defined by the EPA as serving multiple residential dwellings or 20 or more persons per day in non-residential dwellings, such as rest areas, were banned in 2005 under the Safe Drinking Water Act. Cesspools are used more widely in Hawaii than any other state, according to the EPA, and pose a unique challenge since groundwater provides 95 percent of all water supply for the islands. EPA inspectors found that Power Self Storage in Kailua-Kona has a restroom served by a large capacity cesspool. SKS Management LLC, the facility’s operator, agreed to pay a $28,780 penalty and close the illegal cesspool by Sept. 1, 2023.
