Today's riddle: What do you call cows dancing in the dark 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Tiverton Planning Board Split on Water Letter, Density Bonus (upriseri.com) — Tiverton's Planning Board is wrestling with whether a basic water-utility letter is enough to grant a density bonus for the proposed Crandall Commons development, and delayed any master plan vote. The board's attorney and at least one member sharply disagreed over how state affordable-housing law applies, while residents are invited to follow the continued hearing in November focused on PFAS concerns.
• PFAS Map Stalls Tiverton's Crandall Commons Vote (upriseri.com) — Tiverton's Planning Board has postponed a decision on the Crandall Commons housing proposal after a new PFAS map showed the site in an elevated contamination zone, extending review to mid-November. Members cited health and safety worries, debated density-bonus eligibility, and signaled that upcoming hearings will focus tightly on PFAS impacts and expert analysis before any approval moves forward.
• One of RI's worst instances of PFAS contamination is growing in Tiverton (providencejournal.com) — Tiverton residents near Crandall Road are facing one of Rhode Island's worst PFAS drinking water contamination crises, with more than half of tested wells above state limits and some at extremely high levels. The town is rushing to extend the North Tiverton Fire District water system using federal funds, while also delivering bottled water, installing filters, and arranging free mental health support for affected households.
