I never exactly understood though, why putting rocks on the side of the road back on our streets helps? We are a 5 min walk from the ponds. All the road committee did was annoy people like Seaside Bob who said - I have a right to parking in front of my own house for visitors - and then he moves the rocks.

The real threat to the Waiopea Ponds however, are the many older homes in the area with substandard septic systems. When we have those occaisional heavy rains the systems overflow into the ponds (they're only a couple of feet above sea level, if at all)...
This I completely agree with. I spoke with Ron Nickles extensively since many of the projects I work with are in Kapoho. Although he says the sewer line is so far in the future - no new home in Kapoho should go in with cesspool or septic. It should be aerobic at the very minimum for new construction. My other thought is that DOH should say "if you want to remodel you must upgrade to a aerobic system from a (usually) cesspool". But then IMHO no one should be putting in cesspools anywhere on the island, although Ron says that septic isnt that much better.
