The City of Newport will be holding a public meeting to discuss the planned repairs to a failed water main at Washington Square and Thames Street.
The City said the water main needs to be replaced, and the repairs will take several weeks. The work will require a detour around the work zone.
The City is also considering night work to minimize the impact on businesses in the area.
The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Thursday, February 8 at City Hall.
Residents and business owners are also invited to read more about the project on the City’s website www.CityofNewport.com/ConstructionUpdates.
