Two Main Breaks in Sheridan Friday

Two water main breaks hit the Sheridan water system Friday. The first break was spotted by Barry Lyle near Sur-Gro. The second break was spotted near the first one, behind the old American Legion Building now owned by David Parman. Mayor Leland Wake broke out a backhoe and dug through to the second one; Barry Lyle and Water Superintendent David Parman found the leak and fixed it. The leak was fixed by 5:30 that evening; water service for all customers was restored by 6:30. Despite the water outage, both MFA and Snakebite remained open for the day. A boil advisory was issued because of the break.
