加利福尼亚州圣何塞，2024 年 9 月 10 日（环球新闻社）—（纽约证券交易所：CWT）—去年 Lahaina 野火肆虐期间，为了领导当地社区保持供水畅通，全国水务协会（NAWC）在今天的年度水务峰会上向约翰（卡尼）卡多瓦基颁发了 “生命之水奖”。卡多瓦基是加利福尼亚水务集团（集团）旗下夏威夷水务（Hawaii Water）的毛伊岛运营经理。
“生命之水奖” 颁发给在为社区、同事、行业或环境提供卓越服务方面表现最出色的受管制水务行业专业人士。尽管卡多瓦基自己的家庭和住所受到野火影响，但他留下来领导他那支小而敬业的水务运营团队，继续为该公用事业的卡纳帕利和卡帕卢阿服务区提供安全可靠的供水，无论是在火灾期间还是之后。
卡多瓦基在监督运营方面发挥了关键作用，由于团队成员受到火灾影响，人手短缺，他确保向试图阻止拉海纳火灾蔓延至相邻卡纳帕利及更远地区的消防员、居民以及既住客又安置当地居民的酒店提供稳定的水源。在他的领导下，夏威夷水成为西茂伊唯一一个在悲剧期间和之后无需实施沸水通告或遭遇供水中断的供水商。尽管面临诸多挑战，如长时间无法接收手机、卫星电话和双向无线电的信号；大面积停电；极为有限的柴油供应以运行关键的发电机以保持水务系统在线；对家人和住所的担忧；以及缺乏睡眠。
集团主席兼首席执行官马蒂·克罗佩尔尼基表示：“拉海纳火灾中目睹的破坏和损失确实令人难以想象，尽管他自己的家庭受到影响，卡尼对社区的爱和关怀驱使他领导团队，确保我们的客户和社区获得安全、清洁的水源。我感谢 NAWC 代表他的团队给予卡尼的认可，我为他代表整个夏威夷水团队获得这一荣誉感到无比自豪。”
克罗佩尔尼基补充道：“卡尼和毛伊岛的夏威夷水团队展现了令人难以置信的力量和奉献精神，在最困难的情况下不知疲倦地工作，制定创造性解决方案，确保水务系统正常运行。我相信团队为消防员提供所需的水源，阻止了火灾蔓延至我们的服务区，避免了对西茂伊更多地区的影响。”

</div>SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NYSE: CWT)—For his leadership to keep water flowing to his local communities during the devastating Lahaina wildfire last year, the National Association of Water Companies (NAWC) honored John (Kani) Kadowaki with the Living Water Award during its annual Water Summit today. Kadowaki is the Maui Operations Manager of Hawaii Water Service (Hawaii Water), a subsidiary of California Water Service Group (Group).
<div class="lb-trans">加利福尼亚州圣何塞，2024 年 9 月 10 日（环球新闻社）—（纽约证券交易所：CWT）—去年 Lahaina 野火肆虐期间，为了领导当地社区保持供水畅通，全国水务协会（NAWC）在今天的年度水务峰会上向约翰（卡尼）卡多瓦基颁发了 “生命之水奖”。卡多瓦基是加利福尼亚水务集团（集团）旗下夏威夷水务（Hawaii Water）的毛伊岛运营经理。
</div>The Living Water Award is presented to the regulated water industry professional who best demonstrates excellence in serving the community, colleagues, the industry, or the environment. Although Kadowaki’s own family and home were impacted by the wildfire, he stayed to lead his small but dedicated team of water system operators to keep providing a safe, reliable supply of water to the utility’s Ka’anapali and Kapalua service areas, both during and after the fires.
<div class="lb-trans">“生命之水奖” 颁发给在为社区、同事、行业或环境提供卓越服务方面表现最出色的受管制水务行业专业人士。尽管卡多瓦基自己的家庭和住所受到野火影响，但他留下来领导他那支小而敬业的水务运营团队，继续为该公用事业的卡纳帕利和卡帕卢阿服务区提供安全可靠的供水，无论是在火灾期间还是之后。
</div>Kadowaki was instrumental in overseeing operations—which was short-staffed due to team members being impacted by the fire—to provide a steady source of water to firefighters trying to stop the fire in Lahaina from spreading into adjacent Ka’anapali and beyond, to residents, and to hotels that were housing both tourists and displaced locals. Under his leadership, Hawaii Water became the only water provider in West Maui that did not need to implement a boil water advisory or experience water service outages during and after the tragedy. Kadowaki and his team accomplished this despite significant challenges, such as the prolonged lack of reception for cell phones, satellite phones, and two-way radios; widespread power outages; extremely limited access to diesel fuel to run generators that were critical to keep the water systems online; worry about their families and homes; and a lack of sleep.
<div class="lb-trans">卡多瓦基在监督运营方面发挥了关键作用，由于团队成员受到火灾影响，人手短缺，他确保向试图阻止拉海纳火灾蔓延至相邻卡纳帕利及更远地区的消防员、居民以及既住客又安置当地居民的酒店提供稳定的水源。在他的领导下，夏威夷水成为西茂伊唯一一个在悲剧期间和之后无需实施沸水通告或遭遇供水中断的供水商。尽管面临诸多挑战，如长时间无法接收手机、卫星电话和双向无线电的信号；大面积停电；极为有限的柴油供应以运行关键的发电机以保持水务系统在线；对家人和住所的担忧；以及缺乏睡眠。
</div>“The devastation and loss witnessed in the Lahaina Fire were truly unfathomable, and although his own family was impacted, Kani’s aloha for his community compelled him to lead his team and keep safe, clean water flowing to our customers and community,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Group Chairman and CEO. “I appreciate the recognition NAWC has given Kani on behalf of his team, and I’m incredibly proud of him for receiving this honor on behalf of the entire Hawaii Water team.”
<div class="lb-trans">集团主席兼首席执行官马蒂·克罗佩尔尼基表示：“拉海纳火灾中目睹的破坏和损失确实令人难以想象，尽管他自己的家庭受到影响，卡尼对社区的爱和关怀驱使他领导团队，确保我们的客户和社区获得安全、清洁的水源。我感谢 NAWC 代表他的团队给予卡尼的认可，我为他代表整个夏威夷水团队获得这一荣誉感到无比自豪。”
</div>“Kani and the Hawaii Water team on Maui showed incredible strength and dedication, working tirelessly around the clock in the most difficult of circumstances and developing creative solutions to keep the water system operating properly,” Kropelnicki added. “I believe that the team’s efforts to keep firefighters supplied with the water they needed kept the fire from spreading into our service areas and impacting more of West Maui.”
<div class="lb-trans">克罗佩尔尼基补充道：“卡尼和毛伊岛的夏威夷水团队展现了令人难以置信的力量和奉献精神，在最困难的情况下不知疲倦地工作，制定创造性解决方案，确保水务系统正常运行。我相信团队为消防员提供所需的水源，阻止了火灾蔓延至我们的服务区，避免了对西茂伊更多地区的影响。”
