Sheridan Water Project Nearing Completion

All new meters have been put in for Sheridan water customers as part of the $1.3 million water line project. Great Plants will come back to landscape the areas that were dug up.

The old water plant has been disconnected, and Sheridan is runner on the Rural Water District water. Mayor Ashley Rush said that the quality of the new water was much better than the old water, which she said was brown in her bathtub. Councilman Butch Thomas said that his sink would clog.

Repairs on the water tank are supposed to start this week; it will take two weeks. The paint is starting to peel at the tower, and there is a leak.

The city will have an estimated $15,000 to $30,000 left over from the grant and loan money after all projects that are part of the $1.3 million water line project are complete. Other parts of the project included putting in new lines and fire hydrants to replace an aging water system.

The goal of the project is to get done by October 18th. Following the project’s completion, a final walk-through will take place with the city, Snyder & Associates, and the contractors.
