On the eighth anniversary of a 27,000-gallon spill of jet fuel in the Red Hill area, The Conversation welcomed Ernest "Ernie" Lau from the Honolulu Board of Water Supply and Gary Gill, who was with the Department of Health at the time of the leak.

Where did all that fuel go? What vulnerabilities remain? And what's the Navy's responsibility in light of the recent water crisis impacting thousands of residents? Those questions and more, on this call-in show on Jan. 13, 2022.
