Co-Chairs: Martin Roush & Lorna Heller

The Water Reuse Committee is preparing for the 12th Biennial Hawaii Water Reuse Conference to be held on the island of Maui at Café O Lei at the Dunes at Maui Lani on November 29 & 30, 2018. The Committee has secured a special rate at the Courtyard by Marriott Maui Kahului Airport hotel. Please consider utilizing this facility for your overnight stay. The Reuse Committee, a joint effort between HWEA and AWWA Hawaii Section, is putting together a slate of excellent speakers for a full day of presentations on Thursday November 29 and a half day on Friday November 30. Bento box lunches will be provided on Friday to kick off your choice of two afternoon events: a system tour of Maui’s reclaimed water system or golf at a nearby R1 golf course at group rates.
