Boil Water Advisory Issued for Consumers on 2 Streets in Wakefield

The Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) is issuing a precautionary boil water advisory for consumers of the SUEZ water system on two streets in Wakefield. 

The advisory is in effect for consumers on Narragansett Avenue and on Old Tower Hill Road from Dale Carlia Shopping Center to the Wakefield Mall. 

As a result of a water main issue, these consumers do not have water service. SUEZ is working to address the issue.

When Service is Restored 

Once service is restored, customers in the area should boil their water for one minutes before it is consumed. This includes drinking, cooking, washing dishes, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks and feeding pets. 

The water does not need to be boiled for bathing or washing clothes. 

The advisory will remain in effect until it is lifted by RIDOH.
