Hawaii Flood Water Contamination Warning

Hawaii State health officials are warning people to stay out of flood waters that may be contaminated from overflowing cesspools, sewer manholes, animal waste, pesticides and flood debris.
People should also stay out of coastal waters that also may be affected by heavy rain, flooding and storm water runoff near stream mouths and drainage ditches, health officials said.

The Wahiawa Wastewater Treatment Plant had 5,000 gallons of sewage overflow and 11,200 more gallons of sewage overflowed from a manhole at Keolu Drive and Hele Street in Kailua.

Officials don't know how much sewage spilled from another overflowing manhole on Olepe Loop near the Waimalu Wastewater Treatment Plant.
