加利福尼亞州聖何塞，2024 年 9 月 10 日（環球新聞社）—（紐約證券交易所：CWT）—去年 Lahaina 野火肆虐期間，為了領導當地社區保持供水暢通，全國水務協會（NAWC）在今天的年度水務峯會上向約翰（卡尼）卡多瓦基頒發了 “生命之水獎”。卡多瓦基是加利福尼亞水務集團（集團）旗下夏威夷水務（Hawaii Water）的毛伊島運營經理。
“生命之水獎” 頒發給在為社區、同事、行業或環境提供卓越服務方面表現最出色的受管制水務行業專業人士。儘管卡多瓦基自己的家庭和住所受到野火影響，但他留下來領導他那支小而敬業的水務運營團隊，繼續為該公用事業的卡納帕利和卡帕盧阿服務區提供安全可靠的供水，無論是在火災期間還是之後。
卡多瓦基在監督運營方面發揮了關鍵作用，由於團隊成員受到火災影響，人手短缺，他確保向試圖阻止拉海納火災蔓延至相鄰卡納帕利及更遠地區的消防員、居民以及既住客又安置當地居民的酒店提供穩定的水源。在他的領導下，夏威夷水成為西茂伊唯一一個在悲劇期間和之後無需實施沸水通告或遭遇供水中斷的供水商。儘管面臨諸多挑戰，如長時間無法接收手機、衞星電話和雙向無線電的信號；大面積停電；極為有限的柴油供應以運行關鍵的發電機以保持水務系統在線；對家人和住所的擔憂；以及缺乏睡眠。
集團主席兼首席執行官馬蒂·克羅佩爾尼基表示：“拉海納火災中目睹的破壞和損失確實令人難以想象，儘管他自己的家庭受到影響，卡尼對社區的愛和關懷驅使他領導團隊，確保我們的客户和社區獲得安全、清潔的水源。我感謝 NAWC 代表他的團隊給予卡尼的認可，我為他代表整個夏威夷水團隊獲得這一榮譽感到無比自豪。”
克羅佩爾尼基補充道：“卡尼和毛伊島的夏威夷水團隊展現了令人難以置信的力量和奉獻精神，在最困難的情況下不知疲倦地工作，制定創造性解決方案，確保水務系統正常運行。我相信團隊為消防員提供所需的水源，阻止了火災蔓延至我們的服務區，避免了對西茂伊更多地區的影響。”

</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">加利福尼亞州聖何塞，2024 年 9 月 10 日（環球新聞社）—（紐約證券交易所：CWT）—去年 Lahaina 野火肆虐期間，為了領導當地社區保持供水暢通，全國水務協會（NAWC）在今天的年度水務峯會上向約翰（卡尼）卡多瓦基頒發了 “生命之水獎”。卡多瓦基是加利福尼亞水務集團（集團）旗下夏威夷水務（Hawaii Water）的毛伊島運營經理。
</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">“生命之水獎” 頒發給在為社區、同事、行業或環境提供卓越服務方面表現最出色的受管制水務行業專業人士。儘管卡多瓦基自己的家庭和住所受到野火影響，但他留下來領導他那支小而敬業的水務運營團隊，繼續為該公用事業的卡納帕利和卡帕盧阿服務區提供安全可靠的供水，無論是在火災期間還是之後。
</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">卡多瓦基在監督運營方面發揮了關鍵作用，由於團隊成員受到火災影響，人手短缺，他確保向試圖阻止拉海納火災蔓延至相鄰卡納帕利及更遠地區的消防員、居民以及既住客又安置當地居民的酒店提供穩定的水源。在他的領導下，夏威夷水成為西茂伊唯一一個在悲劇期間和之後無需實施沸水通告或遭遇供水中斷的供水商。儘管面臨諸多挑戰，如長時間無法接收手機、衞星電話和雙向無線電的信號；大面積停電；極為有限的柴油供應以運行關鍵的發電機以保持水務系統在線；對家人和住所的擔憂；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">集團主席兼首席執行官馬蒂·克羅佩爾尼基表示：“拉海納火災中目睹的破壞和損失確實令人難以想象，儘管他自己的家庭受到影響，卡尼對社區的愛和關懷驅使他領導團隊，確保我們的客户和社區獲得安全、清潔的水源。我感謝 NAWC 代表他的團隊給予卡尼的認可，我為他代表整個夏威夷水團隊獲得這一榮譽感到無比自豪。”
</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">克羅佩爾尼基補充道：“卡尼和毛伊島的夏威夷水團隊展現了令人難以置信的力量和奉獻精神，在最困難的情況下不知疲倦地工作，制定創造性解決方案，確保水務系統正常運行。我相信團隊為消防員提供所需的水源，阻止了火災蔓延至我們的服務區，避免了對西茂伊更多地區的影響。”
