Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (ISIN US5773451019) faces a federal lawsuit alleging USD 447,000 in disputed 2025 water billing. The complaint filed in Honolulu on October 14, 2026, adds legal pressure around the company's West Maui water system, while second-quarter revenue was USD 3.70 million.

What the lawsuit alleges

According to Honolulu Star-Advertiser on October 15, 2026, TY Management claims MLP relabeled repair and capital-improvement costs as maintenance charges that could be passed to the golf-course operator. The complaint also alleges that TY's water rates rose 339 percent over less than two years.

Yahoo reported on October 15, 2026, that MLP estimated the Kapalua water bill at USD 2.50 million for 2026, compared with USD 1.70 million in 2025. MLP said the lawsuit was another effort to pressure the company into transferring control of the water system.

Three dates and three figures

On August 1, 2025, TY Management and other plaintiffs filed earlier water litigation tied to irrigation supply and system maintenance, according to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. On May 18, 2026, MLP and Maui County signed a memorandum of understanding covering a possible water-asset transaction, with no purchase price disclosed.
