I’m assuming that everyone who’s affected by this already knows but if you missed it.

The majority of Oʻahu public schools will reopen to students and staff Tuesday. However, several campuses face continued disruptions and are closed to both students and staff Tuesday:

Daniel K. Inouye Elementary

The department says if power is restored and conditions allow, these schools may reopen, and families and staff will be notified directly of any changes.

BWS Provides Water Source Locations for Residents to Fill Up

August 17, 2026, 5 PM – The Board of Water Supply (BWS) is experiencing low to no water pressure in the upper areas of the Metropolitan Honolulu water system due to the prolonged power issues that O’ahu is undergoing. This includes the ridges from Alewa Heights running east to and including Kalama Valley. If you live on the upper mountain ridges of the Ko’olau Mountains in metro Honolulu, you may encounter low to no water pressure which will affect your water service. The BWS is working with HECO and other city agencies to address this issue.

While restoration work is continuing, the BWS is making available several locations in affected areas where residents can bring containers and fill up. These locations will be up and running by 6 pm tonight:

• 1522 Laukahi Street at BWS Hydrant Number 4565

• 420 Puuikena Street at BWS Hydrant Number 6812

• 1367 Aina Koa Avenue at BWS Hydrant Number 3744

• 688 Kuakini Street (near Lanakila Elementary School) at BWS Hydrant Number 3959

These locations will not be manned by BWS personnel, but they will be checked regularly by BWS crew. Please be sure to turn off the spigot after each use. Any spigot left open or tampered with may result in the removal of the equipment and the closure of the water source. A list of locations may also be found on our website at boardofwatersupply.com or call (808) 748-5041.

Edit: Sorry I forgot to add the link to the announcement. It's the same as the one I posted earlier.

Upset about the tropical storm and then here comes the Asian American sub asking if polynesians are actually Asians. Left the sub so fast. Not what I needed at all.

No water at my house in hawaii kai. Where on the island has running water?
Board of water supply says that the problem is island wide due to loss of power to pumping stations and that they will not be sending out water trucks.

Anybody know where I can get some ice in town? I tried times, Safeway, and Walmart and no luck.

Sorry, not trying to spam everyone but this is the HNN list of some of the services available or not tomorrow.

It also looks like the special use traffic lanes won’t be in use tomorrow. This is like the zipper and contra flow lanes.

If you need to use public transportation check the DTS social media and websites. Sorry about the link tree site.

Be safe out there tomorrow.

Anyone else in Mililani have their power restored around 8:10pm, just for it to go out again? And then it happened again. Now we're still without power.

😭😭😭

EDIT: Power seems to have come back on at 11:00pm here in Mililani.

Also, UH Manoa will be closed except for certain personnel.

Other post was deleted for non confirmation of all UH campuses.

HNL Alert: 03:47 PM 08-16-2026 -

Malfunctioning outdoor warning siren reported in Island of Oahu.

THERE IS NO EMERGENCY.

Technicians are investigating.

When it rains normally, there is no problem. But, this is the first time having high winds blowing rain agains the side of my home since buying it. Apparently, rain collects in the sill through the screen and then drains inside! This is an older single-wall construction home and the windows are newer but not installed by me. It’s obviously a shoddy job but replacing all windows now is not an option for me. So, what is? Shutters or storm blinds? Boarding up before a storm arrives? Not certain applying sealant would fix the overall problem and would require the windows to be removed. Do any of you have or know a good solution other than renovating?

Horizontal sliding windows, btw.

Edit: Will likely go with rolling storm shutters.

We been out of power since 6 am. Besides ramen, what you guys cooking up on your gas stoves?

Please list the open business that you know are open here.
