I am so deeply saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I met Bob when I joined the Friends of the Kingston Public Library after I retired and was immediately drawn to this amazing, kind, enthusiastic man. He was a gift to all of the organizations he was part of and will be so missed. Rest in peace, Bob. God bless. 🙏💕
He sounds like he was a great person.
So sad. He was my neighbor and we were friends thru the Jones River Historical Society. RIP Bob.
The Animal Control Team will continue to operate at a reduced capacity until February 24. Thank you very much for your cooperation and understanding! Stay safe & stay healthy!!

Kingston Water Department
Earlier this week we had a couple of issues that affected water quality. For example, the fire on Wright Court which used an enormous amount of water and the fire hydrant that was hit in front of the Charlie Horse Restaurant. Both of these instances forced a lot of volume through the mains. Discolored water has been experienced throughout town. We are working to resolve the issue. You may run cold water outside or in a bathtub for 10 minutes to see if the discoloration clears.
The Kingston Water Department has responded to a water leak on Ocean Hill Drive. Residents in the area may experience discoloration in their water. Please be patient as our crew works to complete the repair. If you have any further questions, please contact the office at 781-585-0504.
