Why Ninole Properties Choose Water Catchment
Ninole’s location on the northeast shore of the Big Island receives generous rainfall during the rainy season part of the year. This abundant rainfall during wet periods, combined with limited county water infrastructure in rural areas, makes rainwater catchment both practical and cost-effective for local homeowners. Many properties utilize well water for water supply on property for both domestic purposes. Sufficient well water storage tanks bring an important element of storage capacity when wells break down or during drought conditions where wells become overdrawn and do not produce.

FAQ Section
How much rainfall does Ninole receive for water catchment systems past and CURRENT conditions? In the rainy season Ninole averages 80+ inches of rainfall annually, making it one of the reliable areas on the Big Island for rainwater collection during wet periods. The community’s location on the windward Hamakua Coast ensures consistent water harvesting during rainy months. However, the Hamakua coast along with other parts of the big island are currently experiencing drought conditions that are predicted to persist and potentially worsen in the coming months. This has significant implications for water resources and wildfire risk in the area.
What size water catchment tank works best for Ninole properties? Most Ninole homes benefit from 15,000 to 65,000-gallon tanks, depending on roof size and household needs. A typical 1,500 square foot roof can collect substantial water annually in Ninole’s climate during rainy seasons, making larger storage capacity worthwhile. Due to current drought conditions our recommendation is to oversize your tank by 50% to 100% to maintain larger storage capacities for the dry season and heightened drought conditions.
Can Pacific Blue Catchment handle permits for Ninole installations? Absolutely. We manage all necessary Hawaii County permits and inspections for Ninole water catchment installations, ensuring compliance with local building codes and environmental regulations.
