About WAI
WAI: Wastewater Alternatives & Innovations is a Hawaii-based non-profit organization
established in 2019. We share our name with the Hawaiian word for water. Our mission at WAI
is to help restore healthy watersheds, clean water and resilient reefs by reducing the amount of
sewage pollution originating from cesspools and failing septic systems. Statewide, 83,000
cesspools leach over 52 million gallons of untreated wastewater into the ground every day.
Much of this leachate reaches groundwater and the ocean, impacting drinking water, public
health, and coral reefs. WAI’s vision for clean water motivates our team to help communities
across Hawaii convert cesspools to innovative new systems that are more affordable, efficient
and better for the environment. WAI works to identify and address bottlenecks in cesspool
conversion, such as the need for additional qualified workers in the wastewater field, financial
assistance for the costs of conversion, and the implementation of innovative wastewater
systems from single-family homes to the community scale.
