Brown Water Advisory, Windward O‘ahu

First Detected: 08/23/2021
Sign Removed: 08/24/2021
Closed: 08/23/2021
Cause: Heavy rain

The Brown Water Advisory previously issued for Kualoa to Haleiwa on O‘ahu has been expanded to include the entire windward coast of O‘ahu.

Heavy rain 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.
