Sheridan, OR – Residents in Sheridan can now safely drink and use city water after a boil water notice was officially lifted Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, the boil notice ended at 1:35 p.m. on December 23, 2025, following successful water quality testing confirming that Sheridan’s water supply is safe for consumption.
The advisory was originally issued earlier this week as a precaution after a potential contamination concern in the city’s water system. Officials say the issue has been resolved, and normal water use can resume immediately.
“City water is now safe to consume and normal water use can resume,” county emergency management officials said in an announcement shared on social media. The department also thanked residents for their patience during the disruption and wished the community a Merry Christmas.
Residents are advised to flush household water lines by running taps for a few minutes to clear any standing water that may have been affected during the advisory period.
Updates and future alerts can be found through the Yamhill County Emergency Management Facebook page and the City of Sheridan website.
