Maui Vista’s PIP
(Pipe Inspection Program)
Maui Vista is aggressively trying to complete inspection of interior walls
before the end of this year. The pipe inspection is meant to identify
any suspicious (corroded, rusty, cracked) pipes in the wall that we
can change out before a major water incident occurs that affects you and the
neighboring units. The inspections were in direct response to our master policy
broker‘s concern about the number of claims we’ve had over the last few years.
We currently have 57 units left to inspect by the end of 2016 and request
all owners and agents to support this effort when contacted.
The inspections include a review of the hot water tanks, water shut offs,
faucets and running toilet or slow draining issues in each unit. Recent inspections
identified temperature pressure relief valves as worn out, frozen or and
drain hoses angling an upward grade for release rather than angling downward
to connect to the copper pipe in the wall. The link below
is an article addressing basic information on “On Demand” hot water tanks and how
to care for standard hot water tanks so owners can avoid problems.

Maui is a leading whale-watching center in the Hawaiian Islands due to Humpback whales wintering in the sheltered Auau Channel between the islands of Maui county. The whales migrate approximately 3,500 miles (5,600 km) from Alaskan waters each autumn and spend the winter months mating and birthing in the warm waters off Maui, with most leaving by the end of April. The whales are typically sighted in pods: small groups of several adults, or groups of a mother, her calf, and a few suitors. Humpbacks are an endangered species protected by U.S. federal and Hawaii state law. There are estimated to be about 18,000 humpbacks in the North Pacific. Although Maui’s Humpback face many dangers, due to pollution, high speed commercial vessels, and military sonar testing, their numbers have increased rapidly in recent years, estimated at 7% growth per year.
Maui is home to a large rainforest on the northeastern flanks of Haleakalā, which serves as the drainage basin for the rest of the island. The extremely difficult terrain has prevented exploitation of much of the forest.
Agricultural and coastal industrial land use has had an adverse effect on much of Maui’s coastal regions. Many of Maui’s extraordinary coral reefs have been damaged by pollution, runoff, and tourism, although finding sea turtles, dolphins, and Hawai’i’s celebrated tropical fish, is still common.

The island of Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands at 727.2 square miles (1883.5 km2) and is the United States’ 17th largest island. Maui is part of the state of Hawaii and is the largest of Maui County’s four islands, bigger than Lānai, Kahoolawe, and Molokai. In 2000, Maui had a population of 117,644, third-most populous of the Hawaiian islands.
Native Hawaiian tradition gives the origin of the island’s name in the legend of Hawaiiloa, the Polynesian navigator credited with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. The story goes that he named the island of Maui after his son who in turn was named for the demigod Māui. The earlier name of Maui was Ihikapalaumaewa.The Island of Maui is also called the “Valley Isle” for the large isthmus between its northwestern and southeastern volcanoes and the numerous large valleys carved into both mountains.
