Sat, 14 Sep 2013 10:00:13 +0000 http://www.beachwatch.org/hawaii/427 http://www.beachwatch.org/hawaii/427 CWB was notified of a private spill from the McCully Shopping Center. Between 1,000 to 5,000 gallons overflowed from 2 clean outs. Blockage has been cleared by private contractor, however we believe some sewage entered into Ala Wai Canal. Warning signs will be posted by DOH. Public is advised to stay out of the Ala Wai Canal from Ala Wai Elementaary School to the Ala Moana Bridge. UPDATE: Ponded sewage along McCully, Kapiolani, Pumehana, and Line Street was sucked up and area disinfected by private contractor (Belfor). Disinfectant was also sprayed in areas where sewage was ponded, flowed into, and splashed on by motor vehicles. Inspection late yeaterday and this morning indicates that no sewage entered into Ala Wai Canal. CWB staff walked the Ala Wai Canal from McCully Street, west and up Makiki Stream canal and found no evidence that sewage made its way to the Ala Wai. What did enter into the seconday drain at Pumehana Street was absorbed by debris in secondary drain and storm drain box on opposite side of street. The sewage warning is lifted for the Ala Wai.
