In the News: Pentagon Shutdown Leaking Fuel Tank Facility

An old fuel storage facility that served the military in the mid and early 90s is being shutdown by the Pentagon after contaminating the tap water of nearly 6,000 people, mostly military families living near Pearl Harbor. About 4,000 people have been relocated to hotels while the matter is managed. The water caused many to sicken, developing dermatitis and gastrointestinal issues. Removing and draining the tanks without doing further damage to the environment and surrounding water supply is going to be a challenge!
