Bro there are literally 9 sewage spills on Oahu right now and people are still swimming
Drove past Kailua beach yesterday and the parking lot was packed. Full send, towels out, kids in the water.
Meanwhile the state has NINE active sewage spill advisories on Oahu alone. Not just brown water from rain — actual sewage. Kailua, Waimanalo, Kaneohe, Hawaii Kai, Kalihi. The Kailua treatment plant one has been going since March 14th. That's over two weeks.
And there's zero signage at most of these spots. Like if you don't go digging through the DOH website you'd have no idea.
Three islands still under brown water advisory too. Only Big Island is clear.
I made a site that pulls all the DOH data into one place if anyone wants to check before heading out — safetoswimhawaii.com. But seriously even just google "hawaii brown water advisory" before you go. The amount of people I see in the water right now is wild.
