Some Hawaii families ordered up to three water shipments in January from a water transport business based in Keaau as dry weather and low humidity allowed their catchment tanks to run dry more quickly than usual.
“It’s weird; there’s been like no humidity this time, not like other droughts,” said the water hauler. “That makes their tanks go down a lot faster.”
The business’s waiting list was three days for water deliveries.
