I was just featured as a guest speaker on the Thriving Women Network Uncomfortable Conversations on the Maui Fire Disaster. I talked about improving the water quality in the Kula and Lahaina areas. After the devastating fires on Maui, the Hawaii Department of Health issued an Unsafe Water Advisory. People are warned not to drink or even shower in the water in those affected areas. I brought over some Agua Munda water filters to improve the water quality.
The Hawaii Department of Health has issued an Unsafe Water Advisory, since the start of the fires here on Maui August 8, 2023. Because of the intense fires in Kula and Lahaina, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) like Benzene, Toulene, and Xylenes have leached into the water supply. Because of this, People in Upper Kula and Lahaina are warned not to drink the water, and the water is not even safe to brush your teeth or take a shower with.
The County of Maui has distributed potable drinking water to affected areas with water tank trucks. Sometimes the tank truck water contains bacteria or microorganisms. Agua Munda and Kumpi Mayu Foundation has donated water filters that can help with improving the water quality by filtering bacteria or microorganisms out of the water. Help us bring more water filters to Maui to improve the water quality!
