Waterline Main Break

Although water main breaks are rare, they do occur from time to time. When they do happen, we immediately send our crews out to the leak and work until the leak is fixed.  Water service may be interrupted. The best thing to do is be patient, leave faucets turned off, and avoid the area where the leak occurs, if possible.

Water meter

“Meter Purchasing” refers to buying the right to use the water meter and paying for the demand on the City of Sherwood’s water system.  Read more of this page for required worksheets and brochures.

Common Cross Connection

Customers who have cross connections are responsible for preventing contaminants from entering the public water system through their individual plumbing system by installing and maintaining approved backflow prevention assemblies.
