Military families have been displaced for two months because of tainted drinking water. At an Army town hall meeting Thursday night, one woman said her hotel bill has exceeded $7,000.
The Conversation talked with a military spouse about the uncertainty of being in a Waikīkī hotel for so long. She was set to be out of the hotel by Friday, but that has now been extended indefinitely.
The Army said it hoped it could begin returning families into their homes by next weekend — provided the state Department of Health gives the all-clear on the water sampling. But the timeline is all subject to change.
