Have you heard?

This is part of an article that was in the Honolulu Advertiser:

"The 48 million gallons of raw sewage pumped into the Ala Wai Canal this week marked the largest release of untreated wastewater into Honolulu waters in at least two decades.
And yesterday's extremely wet weather caused additional sewage spills in Waimanalo, Kailua, Kane'ohe and central Honolulu, city spokesman Mark Matsunaga said.
Despite the heavy rains, city officials said repairs to the ruptured Kai'olu Street sewer line in Waikiki held and no more raw sewage was pumped into the canal.
It was that rupture — beginning March 24 and ending six days later — that has contaminated coastline waters in and near Waikiki and prompted city and state officials to post 103 warning signs urging people to stay out of the water."

There are so many stories going around the island right now about is the water safe or not, is the government telling the truth or are they scared of frightening tourists away...

On top of that Hawaii has just hit over 40 days (and nights :) of rain, is the end in sight?
