Sheridan's water system began when a private entity began installing water lines in the 1930s. This system was eventually purchased by the city, which now allows the Sheridan Water and Sewer Department to operate the system independently of city funds.<ref name="eoa" /> Today, Sheridan is capable of treating [[groundwater]] obtained from five wells at a rate of 4.5 million gallons (17 million liters) per day (MGD/MLD). Sheridan's [[wastewater]] treatment facility is located at the end of Gatzke Drive and discharges treated effluent to Big Creek in accordance with the permit granted by the [[Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality]].<ref>{{ cite web |title= Sheridan Wastewater Treatment Facility |url= http://www.adeq.state.ar.us/ftproot/Pub/WebDatabases/PermitsOnline/NPDES/Permits/AR0034347.pdf |work= NPDES Permit AR0034347 |publisher= Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality |access-date= February 10, 2014 }}</ref> The facility utilizes a three-cell pond stabilization system followed by a holding pond and is designed for a flow of 0.67 MGD (2.5 MLD).
