Legal Feud Over Maui Water Expands to Land

A legal dispute between two companies on Maui, owned by billionaires, has escalated from a water contention to a land issue, specifically control of an association representing landowners at Kapalua Resort.

TY Management, owner of two golf courses at the resort, filed a second lawsuit against Maui Land & Pineapple Co. (MLP) in September, after initially suing in August over a water shortage that caused the cancellation of a prestigious PGA Tour Sentry tournament, worth $50 million to Maui's economy.

The litigation has resulted in challenges for landowners, with Kapalua Resort experiencing a drought along with the rest of Maui.
