The solution is obvious: An expensive reef killing desalination plant built near the Kona Airport powered by electricity made by Puna Geothermal and delivered via a new power transmission line built above ground through the albizia corridors and passing first through private subdivisions with substandard roads with contested boards, then Shipman property, and continuing through culturally debated lands. To avoid ground damage by trucks, a fleet of helicopters operating 24/7 over neighborhoods can ferry supplies to build the power lines. It's okay because they are zoned AG. Lava diversion dams using a "roundabout" lava funneling system can be installed where necessary to protect the power lines. Billy Kenoi can be hired to manage the finances of the construction. Stores can be setup for the construction workers that accept EBT. And of course, all these things will need county permits and inspectors who drive slow in the left lane.
