Tenants sue Kapilina Beach Homes over tainted Navy water

TL;DR - Residents of an Oʻahu housing complex are asking a judge to stop their landlord from charging them rent until their tap water is safe from contamination.

Kapilina Beach Homes in ʻEwa Beach used to be Navy housing. The Navy entered into a partnership with a private entity that also allows civilians to be tenants.

Attorney Jim Bickerton said residents continue to be charged rent and utilities except for water while their homes are “unfit for human habitation.”
