I don't have any idea what it would cost to extend the water system through here, but the County will NOT pay for it. Hang on to your catchment systems. When they extended the mains down Paradise to the fire station, I believe they charged folks along the way over $3000 per meter to tie in. Quite a few of them passed on it and are still on catchment. The most that has even been discussed in the way of water in HPP is a place near the fire station similar to the new communal tap facility outside Pahoa, and that has only been mentioned in the abstract. Meanwhile, the Bear and I have adapted nicely to catchment.
