Weather Forecast
54°, mostly cloudy
I just watched Mayor Polisena on the YouTube video from the Providence Journal website

At 2:21 into the video he states:
"And by the way we measured it the water's about ten inches which is this deep."
I put on the hip waders I went and purchased at Dick's Sporting Goods in Smithfield and took several measurements using one of four aluminum yardsticks I put throughout the front yard when the pumping commenced last week,
In the center of the road at the mail and newspaper box I measured 17 inches.
Walking further east going 'down the road' the depth got progressively deeper.
Roughly 60 to 70 feet away from the mailbox I measured a depth of 25 inches.
Looking at the 7 day forecast....the 25 inch depth will easily surpass 30 inches within 7 to 10 days.
But there is no need to pump because 'the water is only about 10 inches deep.'
