Aiona And McDermott Want Water Treatment System To Combat Red Hill Fuel Leakages

TL;DR - Former Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona and Rep. Bob McDermott are calling for a water treatment system on Oahu to shield the public water supply from fuel leakages related to the Navy’s fuel storage facility at Red Hill.

The joint press conference Thursday was held at the Hawaii Republican Party headquarters in Kakaako, where Aiona, the party’s nominee for governor, and McDermott, the party’s nominee for U.S. senator, spoke about the continuing need to address the effects from the leak.

Aiona said he was specifically referring to a filtration system for civilian wells, which are separate from the military’s, though both use the same aquifer for their supply.
