Brown Water Advisory for West and South Shores, O‘ahu

First Detected: 08/26/2021
Sign Removed: 08/31/2021
Closed: 08/26/2021
Cause: Heavy rain

The Brown Water Advisory previously issued for the entire island of O‘ahu has been updated to include the West and South Shores of O‘ahu only.

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.
