Bristol County water plan rejected by three towns
The Bristol County water authority referendum failed in Bristol, Barrington, and Warren with 9027 against and 4186 in favor. The proposal would have created a nine member commission and allowed takeover of Bristol County Water Co. property to build a Cranston Barrington feeder pipeline. Local opposition grew after pamphlets funded by the water company and editorials highlighted plan flaws. No immediate path set for the pipeline, with possible private company steps to involve the Rhode Island Water Resources Board.
