Military Sets A New Date To Start Draining Fuel From Red Hill Pipelines

TL;DR - The military said it will begin removing about a million gallons of fuel from three pipelines at Red Hill on Tuesday in the first phase of closing the fuel storage facility at the center of a major water contamination crisis that began last year.

The announcement on Monday came after a more than a week of delays due to a series of ruptured water pipes, affecting some 93,000 people near Pearl Harbor who were told to boil water as a safeguard against bacterial infection. Those water mains have been fixed, and the advisory was lifted last week.
