Water Leak at Civic Center

SHARE NOW

Several county offices on Kauai will remain closed to the public due to a water leak that occurred Sunday.

After a fire sprinkler was accidentally activated over the weekend, the standing water reached about 2 inches before crews were able to shut it off.

Over the past few days, crews have been working to clean out many offices at the Lihue Civic Center, including the Department of Human Resources, the Parks and Recreation’s permitting office and the Public Works Engineering and Building Divisions. Kauai County staff say that the offices will remain closed to the public until further notice, while crews continue to clean out all damaged equipment and furniture caused by the leak.
