Seventeen people are suing the United States over the jet fuel leak into the Navy water system and continuing health problems they argue are tied to the tainted water. A trial is set to start Monday.
By Jennifer Sinco Kelleher, Associated PressI Richelle Dietz holds an empty five-gallon water bottle at her home in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Monday, April 22, 2024, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Dietz family relies on bi-weekly water deliveries for basic needs since their water was tainted in 2021.
That vigilance is to avoid more vomiting, diarrhea, rashes and other ailments, which they said they started experiencing in 2021, when jet fuel leaked into the Navy water system serving 93,000 people on and around the Pearl Harbor base. It sickened thousands in military housing, including, Dietz says, her own family.
But they dispute the plaintiffs were exposed to jet fuel at levels high enough to cause their alleged health problems. Lingering issues plaintiffs say they are battling include seizures, memory loss, anxiety, eczema and asthma. Richelle Dietz's husband holds their daughter, Victoria, at their home in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Monday, April 22, 2024, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Dietz family has been impacted by the tainted water from the jet fuel leak in 2021.
Attorneys representing the families say the trial will show Navy officers failed to warn residents after learning about fuel in the water, and even maintained that staff members were drinking the water. On May 6, 2021, a pipe ruptured due to an operator error and caused 21,000 gallons of fuel that was being transferred between tanks to spill. Most of the fuel, however, entered a fire suppression line and remained there until six months later, when a cart rammed into the line and released 20,000 gallons that eventually got into the water system.
