The Town Council's change means three separate sewer bills, all due before year's end, as the town catches billing up to actual 2026 usage, prompting dozens of calls to the finance office.
   

• Rhode Island rural health projects take shape with $156M federal award • Rhode Island Current (rhodeislandcurrent.com) — East Greenwich is one of 18 Rhode Island communities eligible for a share of $156 million in new federal rural health funding, aimed at improving access to primary, dental, behavioral, and mobile care.
