State Says Recreation On Blackstone River Should Wait

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management is advising people again not to recreate in the Blackstone River because of a discharge of partially-treated sewage.

The DEM says the discharge came from the Woonsocket Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility over the weekend.

This last happened in late March.

The advisory is in effect until further notice.
