When we were there, 23 years ago, we were told Hilo has no fresh water delivery system.
Every house had cisterns that collected rain water off the roofs, and that was their fresh water system.
We were only there long enough to refuel the helicopter and take off again, but it rained the whole 25-35 minutes we were there.
Beautiful place, at least from the air.
