💧Help Protect the Willamette River Through Voluntary Water Conservation💧

While water conservation is important year-round, it becomes especially important when fish flow targets in the Willamette River are not being met. As part of the City of Sherwood’s water rights permit requirements, we are asking residents to voluntarily conserve water at this time.

Sherwood’s drinking water supply comes from the Willamette River, which is home to several threatened fish species, including salmon and steelhead. Maintaining adequate river flows helps support the health of these important species and the broader river ecosystem.

Small changes can make a big difference⬇️
