STAND. COM. REP. NO. 653
Honolulu, Hawaii
, 2009
RE: H.R. No. 52
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources, to which was referred H.R. No. 52 entitled:
"HOUSE RESOLUTION URGING THE USE OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE AND HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PIPE AND FITTINGS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this resolution is to urge the water supply departments of each county and private water system operators to consider the use of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) as material for pipes and fittings in planning the construction or repair of any public or private potable water system in a manner consistent with sound engineering design and cost-efficiency.
A concerned individual testified in support of this resolution.
Your Committee finds that PVC and HDPE are beneficial because of their resistance to corrosion and relatively low cost for use in potable water systems.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.R. No. 52 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Water, Land, & Ocean Resources,
