Aloha Libby, Department of Water Supply received your request for records; however, we would like to know if you could narrow down the specific scope of area you would like to focus on as there are several divisions in the Department that retains records, and this could be a lengthy process. Please also be informed that many records my not be in electronic format for the time frame you are requesting for and will require personnel that we may not have available to dedicate to this. Therefore, the research could be quite expensive and we will need your statement of facts to show how the waiver of fees you are requesting would serve the public interest. If we may be of help to articulate a more specific request, please feel free to call me should you wish to discuss further before we start searching and incurring fees charged to you. Sincerely, Shari Uyeno Shari Uyeno Civil Engineer Department of Water Supply 345 Kekuanaoa St., Ste. 20 Hilo, HI 96720 (808) 961-8070 ext. 252
