Possible crack in sewer line, Alenaio Stream Hilo, HAWAII

Issued Fri Dec, 11 2009.
Reason: Broken Sewer Line.
Island: Hawaii.

CWB was notified by County of Hawaii of a possible cracked sewer line entering a storm drain at the intersection of Ponohawaii and Kilauea Ave. An earlier investigation of an odor complaint, revealed a possible sewage leak from a residential source. The source was secured however, the trickle of discharge continued. Further investigation by the County with the use of a camera in the line showed that there is a possible crack in a nearby County sewer line. As a precaution County of Hawaii officials have posted warning signs along Alenaio Stream leading to Wailoa Pond. The public is advised to stay out of Alenaio Stream until County of Hawaii can patch the leak in the line. Although the leak is very small, in the interest of public health the County of Hawaii will excavate to determine the source,cause of this small leak, and make necessary repairs.
