On February 10th, the HDOT Highways Maui District team participated in the Pacific Water Conference Stormwater Pre-Con. It was a productive day focused on sharing practical solutions for resilient infrastructure across the islands.

Our team contributed to the program through two key sessions:

• Panel Discussion: We joined regional experts to discuss current challenges and collaborative strategies in stormwater management.
• Technical Session: We led a presentation on Nature-Based Solutions — Construction and O&M, featuring our work on the Ka‘ahumanu Avenue Drainage Improvements.

The session, “From Concept to Construction,” focused on the real-world transition from green design to active construction, emphasizing the long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) required to keep these systems functional.

We are proud to represent Maui District in these efforts to protect our natural resources and improve community infrastructure.
