The precautionary boil water notice for Stone Bridge Fire District customers has been lifted, the Rhode Island Department of Health notified the district on Thursday.
The notice was issued Nov. 9 after a water main break that could have caused a loss of pressure in the system.
The district repaired the break, temporarily raised chlorine levels within safe limits, flushed the water mains and collected bacteria samples, which came back clear, according to the Health Department.
Customers with questions can reach the Stone Bridge Fire District at 508-676-3526.
The Health Department recommends several steps after a boil water advisory is lifted, including flushing taps, discarding ice made during the advisory and cleaning appliances connected to the water line. Guidance for households, and separate guidance for food establishments, schools, businesses and health care facilities, is on the department’s Center for Drinking Water Quality page.
