Breaking News: Wastewater Spill in Maui
This just in: According to KGMB9 News, more than 10,000 gallons of wastewater overflowed from a pump station in Paukukalo and made its way to the ocean by way of a sewer manhole on Waiehu Beach Road, and then a storm drain connection to systems that drain into the ocean.
Stay tuned for news from the Department of Health, which is conducting an analysis of the ocean waters for bacteria and other hazards. Until then, signs have been posted warning swimmers of potential risks.
