First Detected: 02/19/2021
Sign Removed: 02/19/2021

Cause: Stormwater runoff

The island wide Brown Water Advisory for Kaua‘i has been canceled; however, a Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Hanalei Bay on Kaua‘i.

Stormwater runoff has resulted in stormwater runoff entering into coastal waters. The public is advised to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff due to possible overflowing cesspools, sewer, manholes, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris. Not all coastal areas may be impacted by runoff, however, if the water is brown stay out. Continue to practice good personal hygiene and follow-up with your primary care physician if you have any health concerns.
