Copper theft closes park

By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) _ A state park on Oahu was closed Wednesdasy after the theft of copper electrical wire knocked its restrooms out of service.

The Department of Land and Natural Resources says an electrical transformer at the Sand Island State Recreation Area was broken into.

Officials say wire was removed from the damaged transformer to a sewage pumping station in the park. The station pumps sewage from the park to the adjacent sewage treatment plant.

Department Director Peter Young says sewage can't be pumped from the park's six restrooms because of damage to the pumping station and the transformer, and the theft of the wire.

He says the park will remain closed until needed repairs are made.

There have been a number of copper thefts on Oahu in the past few months, costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.
