Papaaloa Water Storage Solutions
Papaaloa Water Tanks for Plantation Heritage Properties
The historic village of Papaaloa, home to approximately 600 residents, retains much of its old plantation charm with traditional storefronts and community gathering places like the Papaaloa General Store. Situated at about 300 feet above sea level, this community sits where three streams flow through the area during wet seasons, though recent drought conditions have stressed these natural water sources. Many properties now depend on efficient water catchment systems to capture valuable rainfall during rainy periods while storing sufficient reserves for extended dry spells. Our tank systems are completely enclosed to minimize evaporation losses during the severe drought conditions Papaaloa is currently experiencing, and our larger tank options help residents maintain water security throughout the dry season.

Why Papaaloa Residents Choose Water Catchment
Papaaloa’s position on the lush Hamakua Coast receives generous rainfall during seasonal wet periods from northeast trade winds. The community’s plantation heritage and rural setting, combined with limited county water infrastructure in this historic area, makes rainwater catchment both practical and cost-effective for local homeowners and small businesses. Many heritage properties also utilize well water systems for domestic and business water supply. Reliable well water storage capacity provides essential backup when wells experience mechanical issues or during drought periods when wells become overtaxed and yield decreases.

FAQ Section
How much rainfall does Papaaloa receive for water catchment systems past and CURRENT conditions? During rainy seasons, Papaaloa receives over 100 inches of rainfall annually, making it highly reliable for rainwater harvesting on the Big Island during wet periods. The community’s windward Hamakua Coast location ensures consistent water collection from trade wind moisture throughout rainy months. However, the Hamakua coast along with other Big Island areas are currently experiencing drought conditions that are expected to persist and potentially worsen in the coming months. This presents significant implications for water resources and wildfire risk throughout the region.
What size water storage tanks work best for Papaaloa homes? Most Papaaloa homes benefit from 15,000 to 65,000-gallon storage systems, depending on roof size and household needs. Historic homes often have optimal roof configurations for efficient rainwater collection during wet seasons, making substantial storage capacity very beneficial. Due to current drought conditions, we recommend oversizing your tank by 50% to 100% to maintain sufficient storage capacity throughout dry seasons and heightened drought periods.
