摘要

The island of Oahu is the most heavily populated of the Hawaiian Islands; however, it lacks significant island-wide reuse applications. This is due in part to their centralized wastewater facilities in the urbanized portions of the island. The North Shore region consists of five unsewered subregions from Mokuleia to Sunset Beach that have been evaluated in the past for centralized wastewater treatment service, but these plans were not acceptable to the local community. As part of a wastewater master plan project Brown and Caldwell has reevaluated the area and identified regional reuse opportunities, which were both desired and well received by the local community. Essential to the plan, and its acceptance, was the incorporation of decentralized wastewater systems. Identified water reuse opportunities include park and landscape irrigation as well as agricultural irrigation for the North Shore. Facilities Planning Approaches In 1987 a wastewater facility plan was prepared that recommended a 1.4 mgd centralized wastewater treatment plant with conventional gravity sewer collection of the entire region and an ocean outfall for effluent disposal. When that plan failed to be implemented, in part due to local objections, a second facility plan was developed in 1996 that proposed two 0.7 mgd subregional plants with water reuse. The local community also rejected the second plan due to the high cost of sewering and potential growth-inducing impacts. The current regional wastewater treatment plan has approached this issue in a different and unique way, by involving the community from the beginning and considering decentralized facilities. Planning was performed with the input and guidance of a core working group (CWG) comprised of involved community members representing diverse local interests. Decentralized Water Reuse Opportunities by Subregion The potential water reuse areas in each of the five subregions were identified using a map-based analysis that eliminated unuseable acreage. The flows from each of the five subregions were generated by multiplying available land area by typical water use per acre for residential, commercial and institutional areas. The five subregions have different opportunities for water reuse. Mokuleia has more adjacent agricultural land that could be served by sewering the subregion. Waialua has more reuse opportunities because there is more wastewater and there are parks, open space and irrigated land nearby. Similarly, Haleiwa, which has the most commercial establishments and may be more suitable for a small collection and treatment system, has more wastewater and irrigable acreage in relatively close proximity. Kawailoa has a relatively narrow strip of land available for water reuse and the Sunset/Pupukea region has more water than available land for reuse. Conclusions Previous facilities plans for the North Shore were not acceptable to the local community after recommending centralized collection and treatment plants. The recent study identified decentralized options for water reuse by focusing on lands that could be irrigated and then looking for nearby sources of recycled water. The holistic approach of reusing resources within a community is also consistent with the old Hawaiian concept of Ahupua'a in which basins were self-sustaining. This decentralized approach allowed for public buy-in of providing sewer service and allows for using recycled water as a drought proof water supply.
