Summary
Westerly, Rhode Island, is in a water crisis after two sudden pressure drops—likely from a beach leak and possibly a main break—sparking an emergency ban on outdoor water use. Residents can’t water lawns, wash cars, or fill pools as the town battles a drought and tries to restore reserves. Violators face $100 fines, but tap water remains safe. Everyone’s being asked to conserve—because this isn’t just a hiccup, it’s a town-wide emergency.
