JOHNSTON, RI — So now, Johnston, according to published reports, stands to collect millions over 20 years from a power plant the people of Burrillville say they don't want.

I'm told I will hear from PVD Water (sooner rather than later?), and that they are "gathering information" right now. Stay tuned. 2/2
