FlushAware.com is an online education system that teaches Hawaii users the treatment level & destination of their flush, and provides actions for activism & improving life downstream. We completed expansions of FlushAware.com to all major neighbor islands in 2026.

The Maui Sustainable Reuse Pilot (MSRP) plan was developed to demonstrate cost-effective 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 attached algae turf scrubber.

Reef Power collaborated with Sandia National Laboratories to develop a community-scale solution to excess nutrients in R-1 reuse water.

Researchers are now working to realize limu-based solutions to municipal-scale effluent nutrient polishing challenges that can help operators meet even the most stringent NPDES total nitrogen permit limits.

Reef Power provided Administrative Project Management duties for the Ma‘alaea Village Association Wastewater Working Group's Ma‘alaea Regional Wastewater Reclamation System (MRWRS) development project for over 3.5 years starting in October 2021, and founded the Ma’alaea Wastewater Association, a mutual benefit nonprofit organization formed to build and operate MRWRS.

MRWRS is intended to replace the failing and inadequate treatment systems and harmful disposal methods via nearshore injection wells in Ma’alaea with an advanced wastewater treatment system that is located away from the shoreline and outside the tsunami zone, and uses 100% irrigation reuse disposal methods.

An updated regional wastewater reclamation system is a core requirement to stabilize and restore reef ecosystems and recreational areas in Ma’alaea.

The project was awarded Maui County Office of Economic Development and Hawaii state legislature Grant in Aid awards, and Maui County Mayor Bissen signed into law a FY2026 grant to continue development of MRWRS.
