A community resource

Serving Prudence Islanders wherever they might be!

Welcome to the official web site of the Prudence Island Water District. The district was created by the Rhode Island General Assembly in April of 2004 for the purpose of providing Prudence Islanders with a publicly administered water system. We hope that this web site will help us to keep all of our residents informed of district goals and projects. Please visit us often to stay up to date on water issues that effect our community.

Have a look around...

This web site is organized into several sections. The menu bar above provides links to information about district goals and achievements, meetings, links to other online sources regarding water issues, and profiles of board members. The column to the right gives you a quick rundown of the latest district news and upcoming events. This web site also provides an online survey to help address your concerns about water on Prudence Island. We have many challenges to meet, and we need your ideas and opinions to help us with our strategic planning, so feel free to jump in!

We welcome your input. Please contact us at any time if you have any suggestions about this web site, or if you have any questions about the activities of the Board of Directors.

And this web site will be regularly updated to give all our island residents, whether they're at home or wintering in the south, relevent information to help answer questions about planning, funding, quality issues and conservation.
