(Warwick, RI) -- The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is citing the Warwick Sewer Authority. The DEM says this is for environmental violations arising from the collapse of sewer pipes in the city's wastewater collection system resulting in a wastewater discharge into several bodies of water in 2018. The enforcement action includes a penalty of over 27-thousand dollars. The problem resulted in a shellfishing closure in part of Narragansett Bay, among other action. The Warwick Sewer Authority is appealing.
