If you want to discuss septics and pollution why not start a new subject??
This post started to be about whether the road was private or public and it is about the gate.
The gate wasn't put there to stop pollution or to exclude people from being able to enjoy the ocean.
It was put there to stop crime.There has long been a problem with break ins and thefts in the area.Lower Puna is basically lawless,there is no police presence and if the police are called they take a long time to respond.
I live in Vacationland and we have the same problems.About a year ago we had someone take the glass out of a window in our downstairs Ohana and reach in and unlock the sliding glass door.They then entered the bedroom where our tenant was asleep.Luckily the person ran away when she screamed,but if the person had not left,there was no one to help her.
We have also had items stolen as have most of our neighbors.
Although it is not working,this is the reason for the gate.
Perhaps they need to take down the gate and turn loose large packs of pit bulls at night.Apparently this is acceptable in Puna and gates are not.
