It's National Public Works Week.

Did you know that Public Works also plays an integral role in Sherwood Broadband and the Fiber-to-the-Home project? As crews work to expand access to high-speed, reliable internet throughout Sherwood, there are many behind-the-scenes steps involved to ensure the work is completed safely and efficiently.

🚧 If Sherwood Broadband construction is happening in your neighborhood, here’s what you may expect:

🔸 Crews work along the utility easement at the street to create accessible fiber internet to nearby homes.

🔸Utility locates are performed as homes sign up for fiber internet to mark underground utility lines.

🔸 Crews excavate and locate marked utilities by core drilling a hole in the surface.

🔸 The depth and location of utilities are identified to ensure crews can directionally drill past utilities without causing damage.

🔸 Holes are backfilled with temporary asphalt mix to ensure the surface remains safe for everyone.

🔸 Crews return in the following weeks to repair core holes, replace removed concrete panels, restore landscaping, and complete cleanup before moving to the next area.

🔸 At a later date, temporary asphalt patches are removed and permanent concrete repairs are completed.

Thank you to our Public Works crews for the important work they do every day to improve infrastructure and connectivity throughout our community.

And as always, if you ever have questions or concerns, we encourage you to reach out. One of the benefits of having a local team and local office is being able to connect directly with staff who are here to help.

💧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⬇️
