Injection Well Estimated Flow and Nutrients Per Resident
Ma'alaea Condo Residences Average injected nutrients / resident / year (lbs/year) Average injected flow / resident (gallons/year) Average injected flow / resident (gallons/day) Hono Kai 8.5 37,261 102 Island Sands 5.5 37,261 102 Ka Nai A Nalu 9.1 37,261 102 Lauloa 7.9 37,261 102 Ma'alaea Banyans 9.6 37,261 102 Ma'alaea Kai 4.3 37,261 102 Ma'alaea Mermaid 9.5 37,261 102 Ma'alaea Yacht 11.9 37,261 102 Makani A Kai 3.7 37,261 102 Milowai 15.7 37,261 102 Using an average wastewater flow rate per resident of just over 100 gallons per day, we have derived from Underground Injection Control Program water quality reports, municipal flow, and census data calculations of the yearly loading of dissolved nutrients per resident of each Ma'alaea condo facility. Each resident generates and injects an estimated 37K gallons/per year and a range of 4 to 16 pounds of combined Total Nitrogen and Phosphorus. Detailed UIC water quality reports here.
