Village of Sheridan lost presdure and contamination may have occurred
BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING
Due to a drop in pressure in the Village of Sheridan water supply, bacterial contamination may have occured in the water system. Bacteria are generally not harmful and are common throughout our environment. Corrective measures are currently being undertaken to correct the situation.
What should I do?
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be using for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and preparing food. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. Continue using boiled water until further notice.
What happened? What is being done?
These precautionary actions are being taken due to the loss of water pressure in the water distribution system caused by Water Main Break on 6-2-26. Whenever a water system loses pressure for any significant length of time, precautionary measures are recommended.
The Village of Sheridan is working to get pressure restored, and water staff will be taking other remedial actions such as flusjing and collecting bacteriological samples from around the system. The samples will be collected to determine that the water quality meets the state drinking water standards. We will inform you when tests show no bacteria and you no longer need to boil your water. We anticipate resolving the problem within a few days.
This boil water notice shall remain in effect until results from the sampling verify the water is safe to drink.
Costomers will be advised when the boil water advisory has been lifted.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this noticce directly (fore example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
Sheridan was founded in 1866 and boasts a population of about 650 people, which is about one-half of the estimated population when the Village was a booming lumber town in the late 1890’s and early 1900s.
Sheridan is graced by Pearl Lake complete with a park and beach. Pearl Lake Park was recently updated with a new pavilion, barbecue grills, picnic tables, handicap accessible fishing dock, and a new playground.
