Blocking the water use is not ok. It seems especially sad for this to happen to a coastline city. If freshwater is not available can saltwater be used in an emergency? Or do they need the water pressure/pumps? It would be more corrosive to equipment but could be cleaned after.
- justinclift 3y agoSeems like seawater was indeed used for the helicopters: Many Maui Komohana communities refuse to accept WML’s rewriting of history. They know, for example, it was actually high winds that prevented helicopters from fighting the fires, and when they were ultimately used, seawater proved more accessible.

The Guardian article seems to paint things in a very different light to the OP article.
