UH-WRRC Summarizes First Round of VOC Test ResultsAugust 27, 2023

We have analyzed results from our first round of non-regulatory community testing in and outside of the Kula burn area. We did NOT detect any of the 23 state regulated VOC’s in excess of US-EPA health standards. We did detect disinfection by-products within the Kula system that were elevated when compared to a sample taken in another area on Maui, and one sample showed elevated levels of a VOC known to be associated with fire damaged water systems. The concentration of this VOC was still below health limits. We will continue to analyze our results, and will share more complete, site-specific data for the 88 VOC’s we tested for soon. Thanks for your patience. Again, please note that these results do not indicate if the water is safe or not, they are solely intended to provide homeowners and our community with scientifically-rigorous water quality information.
