South Point Water Catchment — Ka Lae, Hawaii
Locally owned, full-service water catchment for South Point and surrounding communities. Based in South Kona, Kona — serving all of Hawaii.
Ka Lae — South Point — is the southernmost point in the United States, a windswept headland where trade winds consistently blow 25 to 40 mph and gusts regularly exceed 60 mph. This extreme wind exposure defines every aspect of construction here, including water catchment design. Standard installations simply will not survive at South Point without modifications for wind loading, and rooftop catchment must account for rain that travels nearly horizontally.
The Ka'u district surrounding South Point is sparsely populated, with no county water lines extending to the remote coastal properties and agricultural lots that dot the landscape. Rainfall varies dramatically with elevation — the coast receives 20 to 30 inches while the slopes above receive 60 or more. Pacific Blue Catchment has built wind-hardened systems for South Point properties that can withstand the relentless trade wind assault while maximizing water capture from the area's brief, intense squalls.
Salt spray corrosion is severe at South Point due to the constant onshore winds and exposed coastal geography. Every component we install here — from gutter hangers to tank fittings to pump housings — is selected for maximum corrosion resistance. We also install larger-capacity tanks to provide extended reserves for the weeks-long dry spells that occur when the trade winds shift and rainfall drops to near zero.

Location FAQ
Do you serve South Point Ka'u for water catchment?
Yes — South Point and the wider Ka'u district are part of our regular Big Island service area. We install and maintain catchment systems across Ocean View, Naalehu, Pahala, and the rural lots toward South Point. Call (808) 345-0335 for a free site survey.
What makes Ka'u catchment different?
Ka'u is one of the most remote and dry zones on the Big Island, with 25 to 40 inches of annual rainfall depending on elevation, no fire hydrants, and limited county water reach. Systems here need oversized storage (20,000 to 30,000 gallons is common) plus often a dedicated fire-protection reserve given the brush-fire risk.
How much does a catchment system cost near South Point Hawaii?
A complete turnkey catchment system in the South Point and Ka'u area typically runs $20,000 to $40,000 given the oversized storage required and the remote site access. Fire-protection add-ons run higher. We provide a written quote after a free site survey.
