The U.S. Navy has finally agreed to an order from state officials in Hawaii to drain a massive underground storage facility near the Pearl Harbor Navy base following a large leak. State health officials recently found petroleum levels 350 times the safe limit in a water system that serves over 90,000 families near Pearl Harbor. Navy leaders were grilled about the water contamination during a congressional hearing on Tuesday. Military families had demanded action after getting sick from drinking the water, with some having to be hospitalized.
