RELATING TO WATER.

Summary

The bill amends the definition of “public utility” in Hawaii law to cover entities that own, control, operate, or manage water‑conveying, distributing, and transmitting plants or facilities for irrigation and other public uses. By doing so, those water providers become subject to regulation by the Public Utilities Commission. The change aims to ensure consistent oversight, rates, and service standards for water infrastructure that serves the public.
