Honolulu shut down its largest water source on Oahu Thursday night following reported contamination in the potable water system for Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.
The city's Board of Water Supply shut down the Halawa Shaft after the Navy said Thursday it found "a likely source of the contamination," which is believed to be petroleum chemicals initiated from the Red Hill well, the Navy confirmed in a virtual town hall meeting.
Neighborhoods where the contamination was reported include Catlin Park, Halsey Terrace, Radford Terrace, Doris Miller, Moanalua Terrace and Ohana Nui, the Navy said in a news release."The Commander, Navy Region Hawaii, has determined Temporary Lodging is necessary for service members and their dependents, and civilians living in housing affected by the current water-related health or safety concerns," the Navy said in its latest update.
