Kapaau Water Catchment Systems and Services
Locally owned, full-service water catchment for Kapaau and surrounding communities. Based in South Kona, Kona — serving all of Hawaii.
Kapaau is a small, tight-knit community in North Kohala, best known as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I and home to the original Kamehameha statue. The town sits on the windward slopes of the Kohala Mountains at around 500 feet elevation, receiving roughly 50 to 70 inches of reliable trade wind rainfall each year. Unlike many Big Island communities, Kapaau has limited municipal water infrastructure, so a significant percentage of residents still rely on private catchment systems.
The surrounding lands are a mix of working ranches, small organic farms, and residential homesteads carved from former plantation and ranch parcels. These properties often have long driveways, sloped terrain, and buildings spread across multiple structures — all of which influence catchment system design. Pacific Blue Catchment has installed multi-tank, multi-building systems throughout Kapaau and the surrounding Niulii and Makapala areas that consolidate collection from several rooftops into central storage and filtration.
Kapaau's rich agricultural soil and heavy vegetation mean that organic debris management is a primary maintenance concern. Mango, avocado, and kukui nut trees overhang many roof catchment areas, and the steady trade wind rainfall keeps gutters in near-constant use. We design Kapaau systems with large-capacity leaf screens, self-cleaning gutter guards, and easy-service filter housings that homeowners can maintain between our scheduled visits.
