The Blackstone Water Department is a municipal community public water system.

The Blackstone Water Department serves approximately 65% of Blackstone and also serves a limited number of water services in North Smithfield, Rhode Island.  The public water system is supplied by 7 groundwater wells.  All of the wells are manifolded prior to entering the Water Treatment Facility. 

The water is distributed through a network of water mains approximately 43 miles long.  There are four water storage tanks with a capacity of 3 million gallons.  There are no permanent inter-connections; however, a hydrant-to-hydrant connection to Bellingham can be made in an emergency. 

All wells that are online are pumped simultaneously.  The operation of the wells is controlled by the level of the water in the storage tanks through our SCADA system.

Our water system is routinely inspected by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP). MassDEP inspects our system for its technical, financial, and managerial capacity to provide safe drinking water to you. To ensure that we provide the highest quality of water available, your water system is operated by Massachusetts certified treatment and distribution operators who oversee the routine operations of our system, including sampling, testing and analysis as well as repairs and installations.
