On July 29, BCWA was awarded $1.2M by the RI Department of Environmental Management (DEM) to support its efforts in removing the Upper ($750,000) and Lower ($450,000) Kickemuit River dams. This will lead to greater climate resiliency and reduce flooding of area roads. BCWA no longer uses the Kickemuit as a water supply for the utility. View the PDF below for all the details.
