Lihue Water Catchment and Rainwater Systems
Locally owned, full-service water catchment for Lihue and surrounding communities. Based in South Kona, Kona — serving all of Hawaii.
Lihue is the county seat and commercial hub of Kauai — the Garden Isle — where the airport, harbor, and main government offices are located on the island's eastern shore. Lihue receives approximately 40 inches of annual rainfall, a moderate amount by Kauai standards, but just 15 miles inland sits Mount Waialeale, which at over 450 inches per year is one of the wettest spots on Earth. This extraordinary rainfall gradient means properties even a few miles from downtown Lihue can receive dramatically more rain.
Kauai's water infrastructure is largely managed by the Kauai Department of Water, but many rural properties outside the main service corridors depend on private wells or catchment. Even within the municipal service area, Lihue homeowners are increasingly installing supplemental catchment systems to reduce water costs, maintain landscape irrigation during dry periods, and provide backup during the storm-related service disruptions that occur several times per year when heavy rains overwhelm the treatment plant.
Pacific Blue Catchment serves Kauai with regular crew deployments from our Big Island base. We schedule Lihue and Kauai-wide installations in consolidated trips to keep mobilization costs reasonable for our customers. Our Kauai systems are designed for the island's specific conditions — including the heavy red clay soil that requires stabilized tank pads, and the frequent intense rain events that can dump several inches in an hour and overwhelm under-designed gutter and inlet systems.
