Is Hawaii's Cesspool Law Feasible (Hawaii Together)

A Review of State and County Strategies. The host for this show is Joe Kent. The guest is Lance Owens. In 2017, Hawai'i adopted a law requiring that all of the state’s 88,000 cesspools be converted to septic, sewer or another wastewater disposal system by the year 2050. But cesspool conversation can be prohibitively expensive — ranging up to $40,000 for some homeowners. As a result, the state and counties are reviewing numerous strategies to achieve that 2050 goal. On today’s episode of Hawaii Together, Lance Owens, a Hawai'i island REALTOR and co-operator of the real estate company Kona Home Team, talks about these strategies and especially how Hawai'i island, which is home to more than half of the state’s cesspools, is planning to deal with them. He joins host Joe Kent, executive vice president of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, to discuss the costs, benefits and feasibility of the cesspool-conversion mandate.The ThinkTech YouTube Playlist for this show is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQpkwcNJny6nA87XBgqRzAmCFmG39Wg_XPlease visit our ThinkTech website at https://thinktechhawaii.com and see our Think Tech Advisories at https://thinktechadvisories.blogspot.com.
