Schools Supplied By Navy Water Scramble To Provide Students With Water And Food

TL;DR - During a time when the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has already disrupted normal school operations, the Navy Red Hill water crisis has created additional challenges for certain schools.

Crates of bottled water, portable water stations, hand wipes and late drop-offs by families who have relocated from their contaminated residences have been part of the new routine at the Hawaii Department of Education schools on the Navy water supply line.

According to the department, seven DOE schools are served by that source, all of them elementary schools: Red Hill, Nimitz, Pearl Harbor, Pearl Harbor Kai, Hickam, Mokulele and Iroquois Point. Combined, these schools serve about 3,000 students.
