Rep. Shimabukuro:

Our Engineer, Mr. Dennis Toyama, called. . .and explained that the City went out to the site and it appears that the problem may be overflow from Farrington Highway. . .Mr. Toyama also informed. . .that the City is currently undertaking a study that looks at the Lahilahi drain outlet and what measure could be done to prevent sand/coral blockage of the pipe. The City presently has a temporary grating on the outlet that [Dept. of Facilities Maintenance] DFM has mentioned that it is working fine. The City’s study will evaluate permanent fix. The City has written a letter to the State and we are waiting for a response. . .
