EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – East Providence is implementing a new design for the city’s monthly water and sewer bills.
The new outline clearly shows residents exactly what they are being charged. The new water bills highlight how much is being spent on water, sewer, and other fees that may be accrued.
While many municipalities bill water and sewer separately, the City of East Providence combines the two into one billing system.
