Weathering the storm: Sherman considers water system updates after 2021 storms
Herald Democrat
The city of Sherman took steps Monday night to ensure the stability of its water systems for the future and any emergencies that may come up. The council approved two agreements, valued at $372,000, Monday night aimed at assessing future wastewater needs and installing backup power at water treatment and pump sites.
The agreements come as the city has put a renewed focus on ensuring the viability of its water systems following historic winter storms in February that crippled water service for the majority of the Sherman, along with many cities across the state. In the weeks since, city leaders have looked back at the storms and assessed ways to prevent these large-scale failures from happening again.
