If anything, people pooping in the bushes are less of a problem given that it's relatively dry; when carried by water from a homeowner's cesspool, it gets to the surface water in 20 minutes. That dye test was done in the 80's, but go on to the next couple of pages and you'll find tables of recent bacterial counts showing nothing has changed since then.
Tracer dye tests conducted at two Kapoho Beach Lot residences demonstrated that movement of wastewater from toilet to cesspool to coastal waters was very rapid (about 20 minutes) due to the permeability of lava strata.
If you think Kapoho's sewage problems all either in the past or due to thoughtless visitors, you're in serious denial.
Go to this link and then read pages 23-34.
The date on report is JANUARY 2010.
This is not old data.
Cesspools in Vacationland and Beach Lots are the fecal leak into the waters. Read the facts.
Obie would have you believe these are old facts, NOT TRUE.
Jan. 2010 report pages 32-34 on above link.
Cesspools dumping human fecal material right into the swimming water.
