Update: Brown Water Advisory for Wailua Bay has been cancelled

Updated on July 28, 2023: The Brown Water Advisory for Wailua Bay on Kaua’i has been cancelled.

Original post: A Brown Water Advisory has been issued at Wailua Bay on Kaua‘i.

Heavy rain has resulted in runoff and debris 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.
