WARWICK, R.I. (WLNE) – Some Warwick residents are woke up without running water Tuesday morning because of a water main break.

According to Warwick police most residents should have their water pressure back now.

Earlier Tuesday morning a water main broke just to the east of 95N and south of Rt 37 West.

Exit 14 B from 95N to route 37 was closed down for about 3 hours while crews worked on the pipe.

Warwick police say water pressure has returned to most, if not all, residents by this point.

Exit 14B has reopened again but police are urging people to use caution if they do take this exit because the pipe burst has left a lot of water which has now frozen into ice in the area.
