Stone Bridge Fire District water consumers are being advised to boil their water or use alternative supplies after a water main break was discovered Sunday evening at the corner of William Barton Drive and Bulgarmarsh Road. Though the break was repaired by midnight that night, a boil water advisory was put in place Monday and will stay in place until officials receive clean test results from the Rhode Island Department of Health.

“We anticipate resolving this problem within four days,” district officials wrote in a notice to customers.

Until the issue is resolved, residents are advised to bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.

Alternate sources of water should come from a licensed public water system, licensed bottled water and/or licensed ice supplier.
