500 gallon Watse Water Discharge Nanakuli, OAHU

Issued Sat May, 22 2010
Reason: Sewer Manhole Overflow
Island: Oahu

CWB has been notified by C&C Environmental Services of a 850 gallons manhole overflow near 89-319 Mano Ave in Nanakuli. City crews were able to recover 350 gallons. 500 gallons entered into a drainage ditch that flows to Nanakuli Beach Park. A sand bar blocks the drainage ditch from entering the ocean. The public is advised to stay out of the drainage ditch. C&C Environmental Services believe the sewer system at the discharge site is the responsiblility of Hawaiian Homes. C&C and DOH will be making the necessary contacts for follow up action. Although not their responsibility, C&C crews took the initiative to free the flow, clean up, and disinfect the manhole spill site. A cement slab in the sewer line was the cause of the overflow. The slab will be taken out later.
