Interactive Customer Evaluation Comments Regarding NAS I Fit extremely frustrated by the lack of attention given to facilities onboard NAS 2. I was told District : We have received multiple comments regarding sewage backup in the NAS I fitness facility locker rooms, particularly prior to the COVID-19 lockdown Response: MWR leadership has coordinated with Public Works to determine the root cause of the issue. After thorough review of the PW plumbing shop response history, it appears the clogs are due to flushing unauthorized items other than toilet paper. PW Sailors have pulled items out of the plumbing to include gym towels, diapers, brown paper towels, and feminine hygiene products. These are some of the more common and less egregious offenders clogging our toilets. We are going to need the community’s assistance to fully address this issue. We must all be careful about what goes down the toilets. If it is not toilet paper, don’t flush it; throw it out instead. If the toilers are ever backed up for any reason, the facilities are closed and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before reopening.
Comments Regarding Commissary:
NEX/
that once the new Pass and ID building was completed that the parking lot around my NAVSUP building would be filled. When is the parking lot going to be repaved? Trying to navigate the parking lot and not hit another car or having to avoid the ever increasing sink hole is becoming more of a challenge. Being a retired officer I find this lack of concern to facility maintenance disturbing. At least fill in the holes before the next deluge of rain commences and the problem only grows.

Thank you for your backup regarding the potholes near the NAS II NAVSUP building. Public Works has provided patches to temporarily alleviate the issue. Though we understand this is a short term fix, repaving the parking lot is on the list of long term projects. Like all military installations worldwide, we face challenging fiscal restraints which forces us to balance our resources and funds with extensive competing and higher priority requirements such as building habitability. Our installation development plan incorporates a phased approach to resurfacing asphalt around base in the coming years. We appreciate your attention and patience.
