After the U.S. Navy released its investigation report into last year’s leaks at its Red Hill fuel storage facility, Honolulu Board of Water Supply Chief Engineer Ernie Lau sat down with the pages. The report details how thousands of gallons of jet fuel leaked into the drinking water of more than 93,000 people.
