Westside’s Wet’n’Wild Water Park Goes Completely Solar

According to the water park, the environmental impact will eliminate the equivalent annual CO2 emis- sions of 1,612,492 pounds of coal burned, greenhouse gas emissions from driving
“This is something we have been planning for years and are so happy to finally execute — using the pow- er of the sun here in sunny Kapolei and providing cov- ered parking for our guests is a win-win,” states general manager Scott Loos.
