Sunset Construction - We Need Your Help!

As you may well know, The City of Sherwood has begun a construction project on Sunset Blvd. which involves numerous road closures and detours. The surrounding neighborhoods are being affected as a result of increased traffic and congestion. Some drivers have become impatient and are disobeying the posted signs, which have been placed for the safety of drivers, pedestrians and the construction workers and vehicles in the area. Disobeying the signs can cause an extreme risk to safety of all persons!

Regional Water Providers Consortium
Water. Save a little. Help a lot.  We think of the Pacific Northwest as a place of abundant rainfall (about 37 inches per year) and plentiful water.

And, it is – for now. But, as our water demands continue to grow, long term water supply issues, and the factors that impact them, will become more important to us all.

The Regional Water Providers Consortium is committed to good stewardship of our region’s water through conservation, emergency preparedness planning and water supply coordination. Click here to find out more...
