This is the 4th sewer breaking incident in this Kakaako district in recent months. Why does the City keep avoiding this issue? Kewalo Basin stinks.
Their number one priority is the Rail.

Ukublue is going to be sad when he sees this.
The tilapia must be feasting!!
No time to fix our sewers when you’re trying to simultaneously mitigate a rail disaster, an out-of-control addict daughter and a re-election campaign headed for a landslide loss to a GOP geek. Shaking down rail contractors and local banks for money and ducking all the people and unions you owe favors to can be time-consuming, also.
Let me count the ones I recall…….. the street going into Ala Moana Park at Kamakee Street collapsed, water main break in the Ward/ Kapiolani area, effluent overflow at Ala Moana and Atkinson during a storm, several effluent spills in the Ward Ala Moana area, now this, and what other messes we aren’t told about?
That’s ok, just build more hi-rise towers there… Why bother improving the infrastructure…
Oh, you mean the “affordable” condos that are sitting on unforeseen sinkholes?
I bet that private sewer belongs to the Hughes Corp.
Just in time for the WCC attendees to see how Honolulu neglects its infrastructure. I hope they can repair this broken sewer line before a Oahu was bombarded with rians from the two approaching storms.
