Important Information for Water Customers Regarding Tuesday, July 11th

Thank you for your patience throughout the ongoing outdoor water ban. As many of you know, drought conditions have affected our region for much of the last year. According to the latest Rhode Island drought maps, 99% of the state is still classified as “abnormally dry.”

However, after closely monitoring our water production and remediating several wells, CREW is implementing a change in restrictions to allow some outdoor water use. Effective immediately, we will be moving from a full outdoor water ban to an even/odd day watering schedule.

What does this mean?

  • Even-numbered addresses may water outdoors on even-numbered days of the month.
  • Odd-numbered addresses may water outdoors on odd-numbered days of the month.


This change is a balance between conserving water and providing some relief to our customers. We will continue to monitor the drought conditions, and if rainfall improves, we will reevaluate and aim to lift the outdoor water ban completely.

We appreciate your understanding and continued efforts in conserving water during these challenging times.

Our water main cleaning/lining contractor, Biszko, will be replacing three valves and a section of water main scheduled for Tuesday, July 11th at the intersection of High Street and South Main Street.  This is the last large-scale valve/main replacement for the project that will necessitate some of our customers being without water service for a portion of that day.  We will need to shut-off water service on South Main Street between High Street and Lapham Farm Road, and this will also include Griffin Street, Reservoir Road and George Eddy Drive, from approximately 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on that Tuesday.  South Main Street south of Lapham Farm Road will likely have low water pressure since customers there will only have water coming from the small South Main Street water storage tank.  Because of the significant nature of this work at the busy intersection of High Street and South Main Street, Biszko will have a police detail onsite for traffic control.  If you can avoid driving in that area on Tuesday, July 11th by finding an alternate route, that would be helpful.  We apologize for the inconvenience, but are looking forward to a much improved section of water main and control valves in that critical area of our system.
