Boil water notice cancelled for parts of Kauai's North Shore

Sep 13, 2026

Good news for Kauai's North Shore: tap water is safe to drink again after storm damage, though some schools remain closed.

  • Kauai's Department of Water lifted its precautionary boil water notice on Saturday.
  • Tests on samples taken Friday showed the water is safe.
  • People in Kilauea can go back to using water normally.
  • Kilauea and Hanalei Elementary stay closed because of power problems and no drinking water on site.
  • The advisory was put in place after a hurricane hit the area.

Outlook: Water service is back to normal, but power repairs will decide when the schools reopen.
