But at least we\u2019re assessing how well we can start skimming,\u201d said Chief Warrant Officer Jose Castilla, commander of Mobile Diving and Salvage Company 1-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water supply serves about 93,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Navy officials believe about 14,000 gallons (52,995 liters) of jet fuel spilled at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2021\/12\/12\/navy-blames-hawaii-water-contamination-on-jet-fuel-spill\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility<\/a> inside an access tunnel that provides fire suppression and service lines for the complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People using the Navy\u2019s water in and near the Pearl Harbor military installation reported becoming ill, and the Navy has moved more than 3,000 families off base into Oahu hotels.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/management\/pay-benefits\/2021\/12\/06\/why-werent-you-there-to-protect-us-hawaii-military-families-grill-navy-leaders-about-toxic-water\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"155\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Carlos-del-Toro-_-Hawaii-water.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Why weren\u2019t you there to protect us?\u2019 Hawaii military families grill Navy leaders about toxic water<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Officials said they have now identified three Air Force housing communities, five Navy communities and two Army communities affected by the contamination.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Navy official told state lawmakers last week that the Navy does not believe the contaminated water was caused by a leak from aging underground storage tanks that sit above an aquifer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the work began, the Navy dive team had to wear specialized suits to protect them from the hazards in the water. But the suits are bulky and hot and concerns about overheating in the cramped space forced them to change their approach to protect divers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNothing worked really well right off the bat, but we were able to make smattered minor changes in the way we put things together,\u201d said Castilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation is new to the experienced dive team, which regularly works in difficult underwater situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe logistics, getting all the gear down here, (was) basically trial and error really,\u201d said Petty Officer 2nd Class Reed Akey, a four-year Navy veteran from Mobile, Ala. \u201cStuff would work; stuff wouldn\u2019t work; having to go back to bring different equipment. See if that would work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Removing fuel from the system requires workers to pump contaminates into 20,000-gallon (more than 75,000-liter) tanks. The first tank was nearly full and ready to be taken away by truck as of Sunday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere will be some sampling done to see how efficiently we\u2019re getting enough contaminations for the volume of water that we\u2019re actually pumping,\u201d said Castilla. \u201cIf we skim too low, we might just keep getting water and not removing enough contamination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The affected Navy shafts have been shut down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Board of Water Supply told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaiinewsnow.com\/2021\/12\/13\/bws-latest-test-results-halawa-shaft-show-no-sign-fuel-contamination\/\">Hawaii News Now<\/a>&nbsp;that initial tests showed the nearby Halawa shaft was not contaminated.
