The City of Sheridan will reopen the water vending machine on a trial basis following a one foot increase in water levels since last month. However, if water levels begin to fall again, the city reserves the right to shut it off again. The city is still asking everyone to conserve water due to the drought last year and due to the possibility of hot dry weather this year as well. Water levels are still 4 to 5 feet below pre-drought levels. MFA is about to start spraying this year, which could create pressure on the water system. Sur-Gro has its own water source. More and more producers are now spraying before they plant crops.
The city is still awaiting word on the grant to overhaul the water system. The city has got the funding to open the emergency water connection with the Nodaway Rural Water District; the city has obtained all the necessary easements. The project is still undergoing environmental review. The next round of funding will come through in July.
