AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Water Quality Update: RIDOH and RIDEM lifted the advisory at Worden Pond in South Kingstown after a blue-green algae harmful algae bloom cleared; testing found low algae levels and no toxins, but officials warn HAB conditions can return fast and urge residents to keep people and pets away if green scum or mats show up. Coastal Infrastructure & Camping: RIDEM says Phase 1 is done on Burlingame Campground restroom upgrades at Charlestown, adding new ADA facilities, energy-efficient hot showers, and new septic and water-saving plumbing, with Phase 2 bathhouse replacements targeted for completion by April 2027. Public Health & Outdoors: A new Rhode Island-focused tick guide highlights which species carry Lyme and other illnesses, with University of Rhode Island experts urging people to learn local tick types and take smarter precautions this summer. Energy & Rates: A regional report on Puget Sound Energy rate increases ties higher bills to clean-energy compliance and reliability investments, underscoring how grid and infrastructure constraints can shape renewable rollout. Local Water Costs: New Shoreham’s water and sewer departments approved budgets for rates starting July 1, with sewer user fees rising 3.5% and planned capital work aimed at aging infrastructure.
