The Navy intends to reopen one of three shafts closed after fuel was discovered in its drinking water nearly five years ago. The reopening is planned for no sooner than September 28.
The Navy intends to reopen one of three water shafts that were closed after fuel contamination was discovered in the drinking water nearly five years ago. The reopening is planned for no sooner than September 28. This isn't a new contamination incident — it's a return to service of infrastructure that was previously deemed unsafe.
The timeline tells you something: five years of inaction until now a reopening date appears. The fact that only one of three shafts is being reopened suggests the Navy doesn't yet have confidence in the system's safety. Reopening despite historical contamination risks suggests either new confidence in repairs or acceptance of risk that previously would have seemed unacceptable.
