Hawaii SB958 appropriates funds to support the cesspool compliance pilot grant project.
The bill addresses the contamination of Hawaii's groundwater, streams, and coastal ecosystems caused by failing cesspools. It allocates $5 million for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to fund the cesspool compliance pilot grant project. This project assists low- and moderate-income property owners with the costs of upgrading or converting their cesspools to approved wastewater systems or connecting to a sewerage system by 2050. The funds will be used by the Department of Health to administer the program.
