Rhode Island State Representative Joseph McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick, Cranston) and other members of the Kent County House delegation are urging the attorney general to investigate the billing procedures of the Kent County Water Authority.
According to elected officials, beginning in October 2020, several water authority customers began receiving bills that were far in excess of what they usually pay.
“We have asked the water authority to explain the reasons for these increases, and we’ve given them ample time and opportunity to answer these questions,” said McNamara. “We still have not been given a good answer for these extreme billing hikes, and we think it’s time for the attorney general to get involved.”
