Latest test results show no sign of contamination in public water system, but BWS remains concerned

TL;DR - The Board of Water Supply said Monday that test results from its Halawa shaft did not show any signs of any fuel contamination and that the water was clean.

Erwin Kawata, Program Administrator for the BWS’ Water Quality Division expanded on the details of the report saying, “What we found in Halawa shaft, in that particular report, is consistent with what we’ve been detecting over the last eight years — that there’s no evidence of fuel contamination, nor JP5, JP8 in the water, as well as any of the total petroleum hydrocarbon gasoline, diesel or oil fractions.”
