About United Water Rhode Island

About 19,000 people in the towns of South Kingstown and Narragansett, Rhode Island, depend upon United Water Rhode Island for clean, safe water.

Our customers receive water from our two well fields located off Tuckertown Road in South Kingstown. Both well fields draw water from the Mink Brook Aquifer. These wells can produce up to 7 million gallons of water per day.

United Water Rhode Island has initiated a very aggressive wellhead protection program which has identified a well protection area around both of our well fields. We are also conducting an inventory regarding land use within this wellhead area and are keeping a vigilant eye on protecting this area. The wellhead protection project is a joint effort by United Water, Rhode Island Water Resources Board, Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Rhode Island Department of Health.
