Navy says it’s making progress in huge effort to flush fuel from water system

The Navy hopes to move to the next phase of its water flushing efforts in a few days.

In their daily update at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, officials said Monday that “significant progress” has been made in cleaning fuel from the system.

Flushing is finished at both Pearl City Peninsula and Aliamanu Military Reservation.

The next part of the process is filtering the water at individual homes, which can begin once lab results show the feeder system has been cleared of contamination.
