Catchment service in Hilo & East Hawaii.
Yes — we serve Hilo and the surrounding East Hawaii communities. While much of town is on county water, a great many Hilo-area and outlying homes run on catchment. And as the wettest city in the United States, Hilo gives your tank plenty of water — which is exactly why steady maintenance matters here.
Catchment is alive and well around Hilo
Hilo is the largest town in East Hawaii, and while the urban core is served by county water, plenty of homes on the edges of town and in the outlying districts depend on catchment. If you're up mauka, out toward the rural roads, or on an off-grid lot, your roof and tank are your water supply — and we're here to keep them in great shape.
Being the wettest city in the U.S. cuts both ways. You almost never worry about running dry, but all that rain means constant roof runoff, more organic debris, and faster sediment buildup in the tank. Maintenance isn't about scarcity here — it's about keeping abundant water clean.
Why the wettest city in the US needs maintenance
- Nonstop rainfall — Hilo's famous rain keeps tanks full but pushes a constant stream of debris off your roof.
- Faster sediment buildup — the more water that cycles through, the quicker the sludge layer grows on the tank floor.
- Damp roofs grow moss — humid, frequently wet roofs need regular washing to keep your water clean.
- Filters work harder — high-volume systems run through sediment and carbon stages faster, so they need checking more often.

Common questions from Hilo homeowners
I'm near Hilo but not on county water — can you help?
Absolutely. Many homes around Hilo and throughout East Hawaii run on catchment, and that's exactly who we serve. If your water comes off your roof, we can help.
With all this rain, do I still need my tank cleaned?
Yes — often sooner. Hilo's rainfall keeps your tank full but sends more debris through it, so sediment builds quickly. We usually recommend a deep clean every 2–3 years.
Do you serve the outlying East Hawaii areas too?
We do. Hilo and the surrounding communities are part of our regular service area, and we plan routes so getting to you is no problem.
