2024 Navy Water Quality Report
In September 1998, the United States Environmental Protection Agency established the Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) Rule requiring community water systems to deliver an annual water quality report to their customers by July 1st of each year with data from the previous calendar year.
A digital copy of the Water Quality Report for the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) water system, which supplies the drinking water to the Iroquois Point and Puuloa housing areas, is now available online To view the full electronic version of the Water Quality Report, click here

BUILD A KIT
Often times disaster strikes when we least expect it. You’ll want to prepare a kit of essentials, a go-bag!

See the list on page 9 for a few recommendations or visit honolulu.gov/dem for more information.
MAKE A PLAN
Where will your family meet if you can’t get home; can’t communicate? Discussing these things before they happen is a step in the right direction.

There’s plenty of information at ready.gov to help you create a plan.
BE INFORMED
Knowing what to do in an emergency is best done before it happens. Learn from experts, and know who to receive information from before, during, and after a disaster.
