The acid catchment water will also cause accelerated corrosion to your pump and copper piping in your house. If you see green accumulating in your sink or shower, that is the likely cause.
One other thing to be aware of is that the acid gases produced from Kilauea include hydrofluoric acid - although generally at lower concentrations than continental volcanoes, any catchment affected strongly by the acid gases currently being produced in Puna could well have elevated levels of fluoride. Probably best not to drink that water until your system has been flushed by new rainfall.
