Beach-safety scare: A “flesh-eating” Vibrio bacteria is showing up farther north along the East Coast, raising fresh worries for swimmers just as summer plans gear up. Coastal water quality win: Rhode Island’s DEM reopened a 462-acre Portsmouth shellfishing area south of the Mount Hope Bridge for the first time since 1975, citing improved wastewater and stormwater management. Local infrastructure pressure: New Shoreham water and sewer commissions are proposing July 1 rate hikes as they juggle rising costs and major upgrades. Road work impacts commutes: RIDOT will shift lanes on Post Road in North Kingstown starting May 29 for pedestrian-access improvements tied to the Route 4 “Missing Move” project. Heat + health: Memorial Day weekend weather is turning from dry to soggy, while extreme heat and air-quality alerts are already in the background. Food + safety: Whole Foods Market Kitchen Minestrone Soup is recalled in multiple states due to an undeclared shrimp allergen.
