The 20-inch forcemain break occurred near the intersection of Amala Place and Hobron Avenue in Kahului.
The spill occurred when a contractor working in the area punctured the forcemain; the spill was immediately contained by a dirt berm constructed by the contractor. Standing water was removed and the area was disinfected.
