My son in Honolulu sent me this. Not good. Threatens city water supply as well.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Hawaii lab has detected a petroleum product in a water sample collected from the Pearl Harbor-Hickam system ― a worrisome finding that comes as the investigation into the source of the fuel-like odor and oily sheen from the water continues.

It’s the first confirmation of what military households and other impacted residents have been reporting for days: That their water smells like fuel and has made them sick. But the results also raise more questions, including how much petroleum is present and what kind it is.
