Hawi Water Catchment Installation and Tank Services
Locally owned, full-service water catchment for Hawi and surrounding communities. Based in South Kona, Kona — serving all of Hawaii.
Hawi is the northernmost town on the Big Island, a former sugar plantation community perched at the tip of the Kohala peninsula where the windward and leeward climates collide. This gives Hawi a unique microclimate — breezy, moderately wet, with 40 to 60 inches of annual rainfall — and a character shaped by generations of agricultural self-reliance. Many Hawi properties still operate on catchment systems that date back to the plantation era and are long overdue for modernization.
The revitalized town center has attracted artists, small farmers, and remote workers who have rehabilitated old plantation cottages and built new homes on surrounding agricultural lots. Pacific Blue Catchment works with Hawi homeowners to replace obsolete redwood and corroded steel tanks with food-grade Pioneer systems that meet modern health standards. We handle the full transition — removing old tanks, preparing new pads, installing filtration, and commissioning the complete system.
Wind is the defining feature of life in Hawi. The trade winds funnel around the Kohala Mountains and accelerate through the peninsula, delivering consistent 20 to 30 mph breezes that can carry salt spray even a mile or more inland. Our Hawi installations account for this wind exposure with reinforced mounting systems, enclosed filter housings, and tank placements that use existing structures as windbreaks wherever possible.

Location FAQ
Do you serve Hawi for water catchment?
Yes — Hawi is one of our core service areas in North Kohala. Pacific Blue Catchment installs and maintains rainwater catchment systems throughout Hawi, neighboring Kapaau, and the rural lots along Akoni Pule Highway. Same-team service, no subcontractors. Call (808) 345-0335 for a free site survey.
What makes North Kohala catchment different?
North Kohala receives 60 to 80+ inches of rain per year — far more than the resort coast to the south — and the persistent trade winds carry salt spray that can corrode lesser systems. We spec Pioneer Zincalume tanks with stainless fittings and sealed inlets, and run quarterly maintenance through the wet season to handle the higher organic load on filters.
How much does a system cost in Hawi Hawaii?
A complete turnkey catchment system for a Hawi property typically runs $12,000 to $22,000 depending on tank size, site access, and filtration package. Most Hawi homes do well on 5,000 to 10,000 gallons of storage given the reliable rainfall. We provide a written quote after a free site survey.
