Raw Sewage Flowing into the Ala Wai Canal

Disgusting! There was a break in an Oahu sewage line and the runoff was diverted to the canal, which flows directly into the Pacific Ocean at a popular surf spot. This went on continuously for 5 days. The bacteria level is 10,000 X the maximum allowed. Needless to say, the beaches are closed. Forty straight days of rain have not helped.
