US Navy knew about the problems, never fixed it, considering it just another collateral damages! Honolulu Shuts Off Major Water Source After Navy Confirms Contamination By Anita Hofschneider
Honolulu shut down Halawa shaft, a major water source for Oahu, on Thursday night after Navy officials confirmed that the drinking well serving Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam is contaminated with petroleum.
City officials are encouraging residents to conserve water as the city works to prevent the petroleum contamination from spreading into the broader urban area.
“It’s critically important that everybody use only what they actually need,” said Honolulu Board of Water Supply chief engineer Ernie Lau.
