In a move aimed at enhancing visitor experience an In a move aimed at enhancing visitor experience and managing crowd levels, The Breakers, Newport’s most visited Gilded Age mansion, will implement a timed ticketing system starting February 24, the Preservation Society of Newport County announced. The new policy, a response to surging attendance, will require guests to select a specific date and time when purchasing tickets to the Vanderbilt family’s historic summer retreat. Entry slots will be available every half-hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the last admission at 4 p.m. The house and its sprawling grounds will close at 5 p.m. “We want to ensure that every visitor has the best possible experience,” a spokesperson for the Preservation Society said. “Timed ticketing will help us prevent overcrowding and allow for a more enjoyable and immersive visit.” Each time slot will accommodate a limited number of guests, meaning that popular times may sell out in advance. Visitors who purchased non-timed tickets before February 24, including those with Duo and Trio passes, will still be granted entry without reservations. Preservation Society members and Access Pass holders will also retain the flexibility to visit The Breakers at any time during regular hours. The change applies exclusively to The Breakers. Other @newport.mansions properties, including Marble House, The Elms, Rosecliff, Chateau-sur-Mer, Kingscote, the Isaac Bell House, and Green Animals Topiary Garden, will continue to operate with self-guided tours and without timed entry requirements. The Preservation Society plans to update its website with further details, and timed tickets for The Breakers will officially become available on February 24. 📸 Preservation Society of Newport County #newportmansions #newportri #newportbuzz
Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth residents, get Newport, Middletown, and Portsmouth residents, get ready to pay up—water bills are about to surge. The Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission (RIPUC) is set to hold a public hearing on Feb. 20 to discuss a hefty 17.5% rate increase for Newport Water Division customers. If approved, the hike would be the first operational and maintenance-related increase since 2019, following a debt service boost in 2022. While the jump lags behind inflation, it’s still a tough pill to swallow for households already grappling with rising costs. The proposed rates stem from a multiyear plan filed under RIPUC Docket No. 24-30-WW. After months of negotiations, a settlement was reached in January between Newport Water, state regulators, and local municipalities. Commissioners will take a final vote on Thursday. So, what does this mean for you? A typical residential customer using 5,000 gallons a month will see an annual increase of $127.44—roughly $10.62 more per month. The new rates are expected to kick in by March or April, with higher bills hitting mailboxes about 40 days later. For those looking to voice their concerns (or just watch the drama unfold), the hearing starts at 10 a.m. at 89 Jefferson Blvd. in Warwick. Can’t make it? Tune in via livestream at video.ibm.com/channel/WqQyXw296dg. Brace yourselves, Newport—your water bill is about to make a splash. #newportri #newportbuzz
