Where Is the Water Shutoff in a Waikīkī Condo?

ANY LIVE WATER FLOW: Alert building security, the front desk or on-site building management immediately.

Shutoff arrangements vary by building and unit. Some fixtures have local stops, some units have accessible isolation valves, and some situations require building personnel to isolate a riser or other shared supply.

Owners and property managers should know in advance how their unit is isolated and who can authorize or perform a building-side shutoff. That information is particularly valuable for off-island owners and vacation-rental managers.

Visitors should not search mechanical areas or manipulate unfamiliar building valves. For any active uncontrolled water flow, alert building security/front desk immediately; they may be able to reach the correct shutoff faster than an outside plumber.

A useful property-management practice is keeping unit access instructions and known shutoff information available with emergency contacts.
