Cesspool, Septic and Sewer Awareness

Through community conversations and mapping, we gathered the real questions families are asking about cesspool conversion and septic care. This FAQ was created to share clear answers, connect people to resources, and protect our wai, ʻāina, and ʻohana for generations.

Conversation Mapping Initiative


The Capacity Collaborative, in partnership with Kingdom Pathways, has released a June 2025 update on the Wastewater, Cesspool, and Septic Conversations in Hawaiʻi.


This updated report documents key findings from four Conversation Mapping events held across Oʻahu and Molokaʻi. These events gathered input from community members, government officials, and organizations regarding cesspool conversion, septic system maintenance, wastewater infrastructure, and related concerns.


The report includes:

  • Verbatim transcripts from each mapping session, preserving the voices and input of participants
  • Transcripts and analysis from events in Waiʻanae, Pearl City (DOH), Molokaʻi, and Nānākuli.
  • Common community concerns regarding cost, communication, enforcement, and alternatives.
  • Recommendations for future action, including FAQ development, funding access, and community outreach.


For questions or to host a Conversation Mapping session in your community, please contact:
