SHERWOOD, Ore. — A precautionary boil water advisory is in effect for some Sherwood residents Wednesday evening.

A water main break off SW Willow Court caused an interruption in water service, possibly affecting 800 customers and leaving 22 homes without water.

The city will collect water samples and results are expected by Oct. 28.

The city advises residents boil all tap water intended for drinking, preparation of food, washing of food utensils or for first aid.
