First Detected: 01/19/2023
Sign Removed: 02/06/2023
Closed: 01/19/2023
Cause: Heavy wave action

Updated: 01/30/2023.

The Brown Water Advisory for the North Shore of O‘ahu has been canceled; however, a Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Sunset to Waimea Bay on O‘ahu.

Heavy wave action has resulted in sediment and potentially harmful pollutants entering into coastal waters. The public is advised to stay out of coastal runoff waters due to possible pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and 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.
