TL;DR - After weeks of displacement from their homes amid a water contamination crisis, the first group of military families will return to their Red Hill neighborhood in Honolulu with an assurance from the Hawaii Department of Health that their drinking water is safe.

Residents of a small area close to the Navy’s World War II-era Red Hill fuel facility can resume using their water for all purposes effective immediately, DOH said Monday. It’s the first of 19 zones to get the all-clear to go home.
