Director of Environmental Services Lori Kahikina provided this update on the wastewater overflow near Ala Moana Park.

Extremely heavy rains overnight caused wastewater to be discharged from manholes at the intersection of Ala Moana and Atkinson Boulevard. The city and the Department of Health are coordinating efforts. Crews are on-site and samples are being taken of the affected areas.

The public is advised to avoid any standing water near Ala Moana Regional Park and to stay out of the waters from Point Panic (Kakaˋako Waterfront Park) to Kapahulu Groin in Waikīkī. The canal running along Ala Moana Boulevard should also be avoided until further notice.
