Sheridan, OR – Residents in Sheridan are being asked to boil their water today after a water line leak forced the city to temporarily shut off water service along the 200 block of NE Blair Street around lunchtime Monday.
According to the City of Sheridan, crews located a leak that required an immediate shutdown so repairs could begin. The interruption affects homes in the surrounding area, where pressure loss can increase the risk of water contamination.
City officials said residents should expect to find notices placed on their doors advising them to boil tap water before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or using it for food preparation. The precautionary boil advisory will remain in place until water samples return clear and the system is officially deemed safe.
The city emphasized the advisory is preventive and issued “to keep everyone safe and healthy.” No timeline has been provided for when full water service and quality confirmation will be restored, but updates are expected as repairs progress.
Anyone with questions can contact Sheridan’s public works line at 971-312-2182.
Residents in the impacted area are encouraged to report any unusual discoloration, sediment, or continued pressure issues once water flow returns.
