Rhode Island’s Water Sources Vary by Region
Rhode Island combines major reservoir systems, productive sand-and-gravel aquifers, fractured-bedrock wells and coastal or island groundwater. These settings help explain why water questions differ from one part of the state to another.
Location Helps You Know What to Investigate
Local geology, public-water source information and RIDOH special-testing guidance can help prioritize questions such as pH, iron, manganese, chloride, sodium, arsenic, beryllium or PFAS where appropriate.
The Home Still Needs Its Own Answer
Regional information should never be treated as a diagnosis of an individual property. Test the actual water and design treatment around the results.
How Colonial Approaches It
Colonial Water Solutions begins with the home and the water. We use on-site evaluation, collect certified-laboratory samples when necessary, explain the findings, and recommend treatment only after the problem is understood.
