Kihei brown water advisory lifted

A brown water advisory for the old Kihei wharf to Cove Park has been canceled, the state Clean Water Branch said Wednesday.

The advisory was posted Monday.

Brown water advisories for Hanakao’o Park on the west side posted Monday and at Honomanu Bay in East Maui, posted Aug. 2, remain in effect.

Heavy rain-generated, stormwater runoff that flowed into coastal waters may include material from overflowing cesspools, sewers and manholes. The water also may contain pesticides, animal fecal material, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals and debris, the Health Department said.

Not all coastal areas may be impacted by runoff, but if the water is brown stay out, the Health Department advised.
