## Resource

Oahu’s Army base is in a water crisis after a fire crippled the water treatment plant and aging pumps failed under heat — leaving just one pump running. Four thousand soldiers lost AC as chillers shut down to preserve water, and despite alternatives, few took them. With specialized parts delayed and repairs slow, water conservation is mandatory for everyone — soldiers, civilians, and families — until a third pump comes back online next week. Portable systems and halted irrigation offer temporary relief, but long-term fixes — moving wells above ground and upgrading the plant — won’t be done until 2029 or 2030. Report any water waste.
