2023 – CONSTRUCTION WORK
For the 2023 construction season (late March through November), Providence Water will be performing lead service line replacements, water main rehabilitation, and road restoration in Providence’s Charles, Washington Park, and Trinity Square neighborhoods. This work may disrupt normal traffic and require temporary bypass piping and water service connections for customers.
These projects are part of Providence Water's Infrastructure Rehabilitation Program to reinvest in our system, replace and rehabilitate aging infrastructure, and remove and replace lead service lines, to continue to provide reliable, safe, and clean drinking water to our customers.
For many of these areas, lead service line replacements may be free to residential properties – please visit "What Providence Water is doing" to learn more about our lead service line replacement programs.
If you have not signed up for a lead service line replacement, have any questions regarding the lead service line replacement programs, or if you have any other questions regarding these projects, please visit our Contact Us page to speak to a representative.
