‘Are they trying to hide something?’: BWS demands more data from Navy

TL;DR - The Board of Water Supply is demanding more detail and transparency about ongoing efforts to determine whether fuel from Red Hill facility is spreading.

BWS Chief Engineer and Manager Ernie Lau says the Navy and state Health Department need to come forward with what they know. The call comes after Lau’s program administrator heard at a recent meeting that monitor wells on the east side of the facility were starting to detect new fuel.

“To me, that is concerning that the fuel might be spreading,” said Lau.

Both the Navy and state Health Department disagree.
