Heavy rains close Hanamaulu stream on Kauai

State Department of Health is advising the public to stay out of Hanamaulu stream below Kuhio Hwy, and the waters at Hanamaulu Bay, due to a wastewater discharge.

The Clean Water Branch was notified by the State Operator of a wastewater discharge of approximately 1000 gals at the Hanamaulu pump station due to heavy rains.

Although the wastewater discharged to land, because of the intensity of the rain it is likely that the waters reached a tributary of Hanamaulu stream which empties into the waters of the bay.

The flow has been stopped and signs will be posted.
