The island-wide Brown Water Advisory for Hawai'i Island has been cancelled, but there is still an existing Brown Water Advisory for Waipio Valley to Ka'u.

A Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Waipio Valley to Ka'u on Hawai‘i.

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.
