Updated: Water main break closes N. Kingstown school

NORTH KINGSTOWN -- Hamilton Elementary School is closed today because of a water main break in the Hamilton neighborhood, according to Maureen S. Buck, the school district’s director of administrative services.

With no water service at the school, officials decided to cancel school around 6 a.m., before any children were expected in the building, Buck said.

Tomorrow, there's “absolutely no reason” to cancel school again because the water main on Salisbury Avenue was fixed around 12:30 p.m. today, according to Susan Licardi, the director of the town’s water supply department.

In addition to the school, about 20 to 25 homes also lost water service in the Hamilton neighborhood, Licardi said.
