First Detected: 10/05/2022

Closed: 10/05/2022
Cause: Heavy rainfall

A Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Kawaihae Harbor, Spencer Beach Park, Mau'mae Beach, Mauna Kea Beach, Hapuna Beach Park and Puako Bay on Hawai‘i.

Heavy rainfall 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.
