The HECO also provided documentation showing which of the street lights allegedly belonged to the couple — which have been powered for several years — without any payment to the company, WTEN reported.
"During the review, Hawaiian Electric learned that several of these accounts did not have an existing customer," the letter stated, according to the report. "One such account relates to the streetlights that are found within the street at Halemaluhia Place." Desha-Ann Kealoha said this was the first time she heard about her and her husband owning the lights. She reached out to her realtor, who subsequently contacted the escrow office, WTEN reported.
A spokesperson for the electric company said it does not expect the couple to pay the balance but is working with them and the city to track down whoever should be responsible for paying the five-figure sum. "We’re working with all parties and have spoken with the Kealohas. We want to assure them that we don’t expect them to pay the outstanding bill. Our goal is to determine who owns the street where the streetlights are located so that the bill can be paid going forward," said spokesperson Shannon Tangonan, according to the outlet."That is definitely a common goal that I hope can be resolved as well!" she told the outlet.
