Boil water advisory lifted for Quonochontaug East Beach Water Association

A boil water advisory for some water customers in Charlestown has been lifted.
The Rhode Island Department of Health said samples taken by the Quonochontaug East Beach Water Assocation on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were all absent of E. coli bacteria.
The state said people should clean and sanitize refrigerators that have water dispensers or ice machines, replace any water treatment filter cartridges, and flush any faucets or taps not used during the boil advisory for 10 minutes.
The Quonochontaug East Beach water system was disinfected with chlorine and then flushed.
