Ocean water advisories on Oʻahu

Read live when this page opens: the National Weather Service's alerts for the forecast zones covering Koʻolauloa (HIZ007, HIZ035), and the state Department of Health Clean Water Branch's open advisories (brown water, sewage spills, high bacteria) for the island, which the department names by beach or coastline rather than by area. Nothing here is stored or rewritten; each agency's own wording and dates are shown.

Read live from the state Department of Transportation's lane closure map layer when this page opens: approved closures on state highways in and near Koʻolauloa (within the area's bounding box, so a closure just outside may appear), from now through the next seven days, in the department's words. County streets are not included. Schedules can change without notice and all work is weather permitting, the department says.

57 incidents reported to the Honolulu Police Department in the 90 days to Sept. 19, 2026 (60 in the 90 days before). Most common: theft/larceny (18), assault (10), vandalism (8). Reports by block and by type.

Reports to police as HPD's open data records them, not findings or arrests; no one is named.

ZIP 96717: 25 reports. Most common: Building Code (17), Pothole (4), Beach/Park (1), Refuse/Bulky Item (1), Trees – Park & Street (1).

ZIP 96731: 2 reports. Most common: Other (1), Beach/Park (1).

ZIP 96762: 3 reports. Most common: Pothole (1), Streetlight (1), Dead Animal in Road (1).

Honolulu 311 reports from the city's open data, Aug. 21, 2026 to Sept. 19, 2026, counted by ZIP code; ZIP codes do not follow board boundaries, so each line describes the ZIP. Counts only: no address, no description, no report number. Request types are the city's own. Categories the city labels “Homeless” count calls made to the city, not people: they say how often neighbors reported something, not how many people are unhoused, and the state's point-in-time count is the source for that. Reports about crime are not counted here.

No agenda for this board is on file yet. The Neighborhood Commission Office sends each board's agendas by email; the Ledger will carry them here, in the office's words, as they arrive.

From the Department of Planning and Permitting's public-input page, read Sept. 20, 2026. A file is placed in this area when DPP's map point falls inside the board's official boundary. The map shows applications open for comment, not every permit. The Ledger has not reviewed the application materials.

From City Council committee agendas the Ledger has read into items (2 so far), in the council's words. An item appears here only when it prints a tax map key that falls in this board area, or names a department file mapped here.

From the State of Hawaiʻi's Environmental Notice (7 issues read), in its words. An item appears here only when it prints a tax map key that falls in this board area.

No state board item read so far prints a tax map key in this board area.

From state board agendas the Ledger has read (4 so far), in the agencies' words. An item appears here only when it prints a tax map key that falls in this board area.

The city issued 969 permits in this area from Jan. 1, 2020 through July 1, 2025, worth $109,406,366 of work as filed; the median permit was $24,500. Of those, 53 were for a new building, 344 carried the solar flag and 12 the accessory dwelling unit flag. Across the whole file: 5,656 permits, $1,321,338,687.

Counted from the city's static permit file (2005 to June 30, 2025), placed by the tax map key each permit carries; 2026 permits are in HNL Build and not in any open file. Counts and totals only: the Ledger does not publish a permit's address, applicant or contractor. How the count is made.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates by ZIP Code Tabulation Area, read through the Census Reporter API. These are survey estimates; ± is the 90% margin of error. ZIP code areas do not follow board boundaries, so each row describes the ZIP, not the board area. A ZIP is shown when at least a tenth of it lies inside this area.

Oʻahu has one city government, so most decisions that reach Koʻolauloa are made for the whole island. Those records have one home each: City Council and committee agendas and every open land-use file.
