It’s been a year since a major leak at the Red Hill fuel facility, and the fuel is still sitting in tanks 100 feet above a major drinking water source.

Seventeen people were hospitalized, children experienced seizures and pets died, federal health officials found.

Despite calls to use 10% less water, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply says it hasn’t seen a significant drop in usage.

The federal government is submitting to the state’s environmental oversight authority, an Earthjustice attorney said.

Levels of diesel and oil are getting lower in the aquifer below the Navy’s fuel storage facility, the health department said.

The Navy said there are no indications of “system-wide impacts.”

Experts don’t know where the contamination may be moving. New detection wells could help.

The Navy admiral who relieved the captain touted “accountability for safety” in a staff email on Monday.

The contamination crisis exposed how little regulators know about how groundwater – and fuel pollution – flow under the Red Hill facility.

It’s a technology that has been in use for over 100 years.
