HONOLULU -- The Honolulu Board of Water Supply has lifted voluntary restrictions it had asked Oahu residents to comply with to conserve water.
The board in August cited low rainfall levels and high water consumption in asking residents and businesses to reduce water use by 10 percent and limit irrigation and landscape watering to three days a week.
Recent cooler temperatures and frequent rainfall this month have contributed to a reduction of water use and the ongoing recovery of water levels at key sources, the board said in a news release.
Board manager and chief engineer Clifford Jamile said all water users should continue to monitor consumption and use water as efficiently as possible.
During a recent week, the average water use on Oahu was 153.1 gallons per day, down from the average of 180 million gallons per day during the month of July.
