A boil-water order has been issued to 25,000 customers of the Kent County Water Authority after tests Friday found that a storage tank was contaminated with E. coli bacteria. Water authority customers in Cranston, Coventry, Warwick, West Warwick, East Greenwich and some in North Kingstown and West Greenwich should boil their water vigorously for at least one minute before drinking it, cooking with it or brushing their teeth. Residents uncertain if they should boil their water need only consult their water bills, Brown said. If they are in any of the seven communities listed above and their bill is from the Kent County Water Authority, they need to boil — as do customers in Potowomut.
