The state is advising people in north and east Kauai to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff due to possible unsanitary conditions.

The Department of Health’s Clean Water Branch says heavy rains have caused muddy runoff from Hanalei Bay to Nawiliwili.

It says overflowing cesspools, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, chemicals and flood debris could taint the water.

The state is urging people to stay out of coastal waters if they are muddy and brown.
