A U.S. senator is calling for the EPA to take the lead in testing to determine whether it's safe to drink water that the Navy provides to and around Pearl Harbor.
But the Navy said the sample didn't come directly from the Navy's well and that Navy officials don't believe it indicated contamination.
Ernest Lau, manager and chief engineer for the Board of Water Supply, said the Navy informed the city agency on Wednesday that a high level of diesel fuel was found in samples of the Aiea-Halawa water shaft. The Navy did not respond to the Board of Water Supply's questions, or those submitted by the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. Navy officials didn't immediately return email or phone messages from the The Associated Press Friday.
