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...

Volunteer In Your Community
There are many ways of getting connected. Spending time with family, interacting with friends or being a member of an organization, are just a few ways of getting connected. But volunteering is one way that not only benefits those being served, but also builds a sense of community and belonging for those who serve as they begin to see the change they have made in the community around them.
