COMMUNITYx and Sierra Club Hawai'i to Hold Press Conference For Families Impacted by Water Crisis

TL;DR - A fuel bunker owned by the U.S. Navy – known as Red Hill Bunker – has been leaking fuel for decades. Since 1943, more than 180,000 gallons of fuel have leaked from the decrepit bunker. Despite a recent emergency order put in place by the U.S. Department of Defense, the bunker has not yet been defueled and continues to leak, causing continued toxic harm to local residents. Red Hill Bunker is located just 100 feet above the island's groundwater aquifer, and leaked fuel has caused detectable contamination to the water source over the past few years. The full effects of the contamination are yet to be realized, but U.S. Navy families living in the Red Hill/Moanalua area of Hawai'i are being seriously impacted right now.
