Tiverton Community Steps Up for PFAS Crisis | Providence News
Description
In Tiverton, Rhode Island, residents are battling serious PFAS contamination in their well water — prompting immediate state-ordered shutdowns and emergency response. But the community’s rallying cry is “we’ve got this.” With $25K from the town, free showers at a local sports facility, and massive donations from Stop & Shop, Shaw’s Market, and even small businesses like Smokehouse Gas, neighbors are stepping up to deliver bottled water and support. The source? Decades-old firefighting foam at Crandall Road Fire Station. Now, with the state handing over affected resident lists, the focus is on getting every household safe — one bottle at a time.
