We are blessed with many gifts here in Hawaii, and a plentiful supply of the best water in the world is at the top of that list. We also have been blessed with a community that has worked with us when we have asked for conservation. This is a new era, with new challenges, and the BWS is meeting those challenges with a renewed commitment to our vision and mission.

The BWS has developed goals to support water resource planning, based on the ahupua'a model of sustainable resource management. In a world of limited resources, meeting these goals will require balance, understanding and shared responsibility. These goals enable the BWS to fulfill its roles and responsibilities in a larger system of agencies contributing to the management of water resources.

Our Goals

For many years, the BWS has communicated its efforts through strategic goals: resource sustainability, operational sustainability, and financial sustainability. These over-arching agency goals create alignment with the vision and mission, program priorities and action plans.

• Resource Sustainability (Safe): ​Protect, conserve and manage Oahu's water supplies and watersheds now and into the future through adaptive and integrated strategies.

• Operational Sustainability (Dependable): Build an effective organization that continuously works to improve dependable service.

• Financial Sustainability (Affordable): Implement sound fiscal strategies to provide safe, dependable and affordable water service.
