The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its contact phone number for civilian residents wanting to take part in a survey on how tainted water from the Navy’s system has affected them.
The number to call is 404-567-3256. It was originally listed as 404-657-3256. Residents can also email ATSDRACE@cdc.gov to sign up.
Officials began the survey Tuesday.
The state Department of Health says officials will survey civilians living in homes served by the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam water distribution system.
They will also try to reach people who may have been exposed to contaminated water at work or school.
The Navy has created a database for military residents affected by the contaminated water, but the DOH says civilians who used the water should also be surveyed in order to better understand its health effects.
