The Marine Corps expressed confidence that Manana residents were not receiving the same fuel-laced water their neighbors on the other side of Pearl Harbor were drinking.

It’s a significant shift. Just a few months ago, Sen. Mazie Hirono and Rep. Ed Case were not in favor of shutting down Red Hill.

Left-wing activists from across the world are supporting calls to close the Navy’s troubled fuel facility.

The DOH rejected arguments by the Navy that the state lacks the power to shut down Red Hill.

The mayor praised the head of the Honolulu Board of Water Supply but wouldn’t echo his calls to drain the Red Hill fuel tanks.

The Navy is focused on its mission, not on Oahu’s drinking water, and will have to be forced to shut down its Red Hill fuel tanks.

The plaintiffs argue their landlords owed them clean water and a safe home and failed to deliver.

The Navy’s filing makes clear it is not going to drain the Red Hill fuel tanks without a fight.

The Navy told lawmakers it will not meet a Jan. 3 deadline to come up with a plan for decontaminating its drinking water well.

The head of Honolulu’s water utility said he supports a hearing officer’s recommendation to drain the fuel tanks and wants them closed for good.
