Dock Hazards

Boat Wash Area Hazards

Below are photos of the boat wash area, which overflows into "Lake Ebola" - the non-functional sump surrounded by a chain link fence. After a heavy rain, the road is often flooded from the Akoni Pule intersection to the boat wash area. The runoff flows through "Lake Ebola," across the parking lot, through the three 4-inch pipes under the newly built handicapped walkway (or over it), and into the harbor.
