Hilo, Hawai‘i Island, January 14, 2025 – The Hawai‘i State Department of Health (DOH) has issued a high bacteria count notification for Honoli‘i Cove after routine water quality monitoring revealed elevated bacteria levels of 238 per 100 mL, exceeding the acceptable threshold.

The source of the elevated bacteria levels is currently undetermined. The DOH emphasized that Honoli‘i Cove has historically met water quality standards and no known sources of fecal contamination have been identified.
