Utility Cooperatives and Municipal Services in Rhode Island

Use this Rhode Island utility map before a job changes a meter, service mast, service drop, gas appliance, water line, sewer lateral, trench, driveway, coastal drainage feature, or exterior structure. For electric outages, meter pulls, temporary power, panel upgrades, solar interconnection, EV chargers, or work that needs a utility disconnect, start with Rhode Island Energy for most addresses, then check whether the site is in Clear River Electric & Water District or Block Island Utility District territory. Dense neighborhoods, triple-deckers, and island properties can add access and outage constraints, so verify the exact premise before scheduling. For gas odors, hit lines, meter relocations, pressure questions, or appliance conversions, stop work and call Rhode Island Energy or 911 from a safe distance when there is an immediate leak. Providence Water, Clear River water service, and local water or sewer utilities coordinate taps, meters, hydrants, backflow, main shutoffs, and service-line ownership. Coastal sites may also require drainage or right-of-way coordination. Before excavation, boring, fence posts, drainage, sewer, water, signs, or tree work, file the 811 ticket through https://www.digsafe.com/ and wait for marks or positive response. Public marks do not replace private locating for owner-installed lighting, irrigation, propane, septic, yard drains, or lines beyond the meter.
