Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) Filing
Protect Oʻahu Water: On July 1, 2025, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply filed a federal lawsuit against the United States Navy following the Navy’s releases of petroleum and other hazardous chemicals into Oʻahu’s critical, sole source drinking water supply. The Navy itself has acknowledged responsibility for the massive environmental and human health crisis caused by the November 2021 fuel release, but it has refused to accept responsibility for the costs that the BWS has and will incur to respond to the Navy’s contaminant releases.
