Numerous residents around Pearl Harbor have complained about gasoline-like smell and stomach pain from petroleum being in their water.
The Red Hill well contains 20 large underground fuel tanks that date back to World War II, according to the Associated Press. The Navy built the tanks, each as tall as a 25-story building, in two rows of 10 inside a mountain ridge three miles inland from Pearl Harbor.
A tunnel is shown inside the Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage Facility in Pearl Harbor. The state of Hawaii says a laboratory has detected a petroleum product in a water sample from an elementary school near Pearl Harbor. The news comes amid heightened concerns that fuel from the massive Navy storage facility might contaminate Oahu's water supply.
