Water bills

The town of North Smithfield reminds residents that water bill payments are due on Wednesday, July 15.

Town officials are encouraging everyone to pay their bills with online or through the mail to minimize crowds at Town Hall. A drop box is also available on the driveway side of the building at 83 Greene St., where payment for all bills, including tax, water or sewer, can be deposited without entering the building. If a receipt is needed, residents are instructed to provide a stamped self-addressed envelope.

Dog licenses

All dogs that reside in North Smithfield must be licensed with the town and the deadline this year is Wednesday, July 15 to avoid a late fee. The cost is $6 per dog, and proof of rabies immunization is required. A late fee of $5 will be applied as of Thursday, July 16.

Town Hall is closed to the public and residents are asked to mail in a copy of their rabies certificate to 83 Green St., N. Smithfield, RI 02896. Be sure to include your name, address and phone number and a $6 check made payable to the Town of North Smithfield. Town officials will mail back the dog tag.

Residents can also renew dog licenses at the door to Town Hall.

Questions should be directed to the Town Clerk’s office at (401) 767-2200, Ext. 504.
