I read online from a resident in Volcano village that their power lines come from Pahala, so they are still without power.
The water line discussion reminded me that on the island of Crete in Greece, it was apparent that the water lines were mostly above ground in flexible plastic pipe. It looked like there were occasional water substations most likely supplied by larger, underground piping. I recall seeing valve systems above ground where it looked like a person could just walk up and shut off someone's water supply. No doubt some prankster would actually do that in Puna. Or the water would be stolen, or the lines vandalized...
