Maui residents rail against spike in tourism during water shortage
For summer travelers, the weather in Maui was close to perfect last month, with highs in the mid-80s, lows in the mid-70s and not a rain cloud in sight.
For locals, that has actually been a huge problem: Recent drought conditions have led officials to declare a water shortage in parts of the Maui County archipelago. Residents in those areas can be hit with a $500 fine if they use water for nonessential activities, such as washing a car or watering a lawn.
