One of the clearest needs across our islands right now is access to clean, drinkable water. We visited the reverse osmosis system set up on PauPau Beach by the U.S. Air Force’s 554th RED HORSE squadron to support the northern part of Saipan. It is a large and complex operation, but one that is ready to make a difference for the community. Thank you to Defense Coordinating Officer Harry Elliott and the Air Force team for stepping in and getting this system up and running.
