West Warwick Town Council to Consider $11.15M Wastewater Facility Authorization; Zoning Board Reviews Two Variance Petitions
West Warwick's Town Council has an agenda item to authorize up to $11.15 million for the design, construction, and repair of the Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility, according to the July 21 meeting agenda. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so it is not confirmed whether the authorization was approved.
Town Council — July 21
The Town Council agenda listed a first reading of an ordinance for the $11.15 million wastewater facility financing. Also on the agenda:
- A request from the Police Department to purchase Axon Taser equipment.
- Cancellation of taxes in the amount of $10,011.43.
- Amplifier/loudspeaker permits for Portuguese American events.
- A resolution awarding support funds for the West Warwick Veterans Council.
Because minutes are not yet published, the status of each item — whether it was approved, tabled, or continued — is not confirmed by the official record.
Sewer Commission — July 21
The Town Council, acting as the Sewer Commission, had a separate agenda the same evening. Items included:
- Approval of minutes from four prior meetings: the April 28, 2026 Sewer Commission meeting (SC2026-07), the April 28, 2026 Budget workshop (SC2026-07), the May 5, 2026 public hearing number one (SC2026-07), and the May 12, 2026 public hearing number two (SC2026-07).
- Receipt of the superintendent's report, the industrial pretreatment program report, and the financial report.
- Discussion of any resolutions listed on the agenda. The agenda did not specify the details of those resolutions.
- A public comment period before adjournment.
Minutes for this meeting have not been published.
Zoning Board of Review — July 29
The Zoning Board of Review agenda included two petitions:
- **Petition ZBR-26-4:** A dimensional variance request for a 16x22 shed at 30 Queen Ave.
- **Petition ZBR-26-5:** A dimensional variance and special use permit request for a car rental business at 837 Providence Street, plus a request for a partial electronic message board pylon sign at the same address.
Minutes for this meeting have not been published, so outcomes for both petitions are not confirmed.
