Protecting Maui’s local reef ecosystems.
Reef Power LLC is a Maui small business dedicated to solving wastewater problems impacting local reef ecosystems.
We are working to develop online education systems with FlushAware.com, innovative wastewater solutions with a limu turf scrubber pilot, and technical administration duties for the Ma'alaea Regional Wastewater Reclamation System project.
FlushAware App Development
FlushAware is an online education system that teaches Maui Island users the treatment level & destination of their flush, and provides actions for activism & improving life downstream. We are working to expand FlushAware.com to neighbor islands, starting with Oahu in 2023.
The Hawaiian Limu Turf Scrubber Solution
We are developing the Maui Sustainable Reuse Pilot (MSRP) to demonstrate cost-effective ecologically engineered recycling of nutrient pollution from R-1 water into agriculture by growing native Hawaiian freshwater stream macroalgae limu in a human made stream bed system called an algal turf scrubber.
Ma‘alaea Regional Wastewater Reclamation System
Reef Power has provided significant leadership in the progress toward realizing a Ma‘alaea Regional Wastewater Reclamation System through technical administration duties for the Ma‘alaea Village Association Wastewater Working Group since October 2021, and as Executive Director of a new mutual benefit nonprofit organization in formation to build & operate MRWRS, Ma’alaea Wastewater Association..
“Starting January 1, 2039, municipal wastewater effluent produced by the County must meet Hawaii State R-1 reuse water standards.
The County must allocate sufficient funding for the implementation of this subsection so that its requirements will be met by the implementation stated above.”
