Kauai residents reassured about dam situation
KOLOA, Hawaii (AP) _ Governor Lingle participated in a town meeting held Monday night to address the concerns of Kauai residents fearful of another reservoir dam failure.
State and county officials, experts and business leaders reassured about 300 residents that the seven dams located above Koloa, Kukuiula and Poipu are safe.
The residents heard from representatives of Grove Farms, which owns Waita Reservoir, and Alexander and Baldwin, which owns the rest.
Inspections of all reservoirs in the state were ordered after the Kaloko dam burst March 14th, killing seven people.
Civil Defense director Major General Robert Lee says all inspected reservoirs pose no immediate threat.
