HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -
Signs warning the public
to stay out of the water at Hickam Beach were posted on Friday after 9,000
gallons of wastewater were spilled near a storm drain that leads to the beach, according to the state Department of Health.
The spill, which
officials say is not expected to reach harbor waters, occurred on Gardner
Avenue at Joint Base Pearl Habor-Hickam. The incident has been attributed to an
equipment failure.
Warning signs will
continue to remain posted as a precaution.
