Water Restriction Notice
Effective Immediately!
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY!!
The City of Sodaville Water Utility and the City of Sodaville City Council are placing water restrictions on outside watering. Water Restriction Rates will apply and enforcement will start as of 09/11/2020.
No outside water use includes:
- No watering of lawns.
- No sprinklers or underground drip systems.
- No filling of swimming pools.
- No washing of cars, decks, buildings, sidewalks etc.
- Watering of gardens will not be restricted
Due to this years lack of adequate rainfall and continued hot and dry conditions the City’s wells are at extremely low conditions and the rate of customer usage is greater than the City’s water production.
The City’s priority is to supply all of its residents with water for bathing, cooking and drinking during this restriction, and to reduce water usage to winter months’ averages until the rainy season begins again and refills the aquifers.
All other water conservation will be greatly appreciated.
If you have any water concerns or problems please let us know by calling Public Works Director Stan Smith at 541-401-8537 or City Administrator Judy Smith at City Hall 541-258-8882 or cell 541-905-2590.
This is a NO TOLERANCE ORDER. City Resolution #03-01 in accordance with Ordinance #15-02 allows the City of Sodaville Water Utility to impose a penalty for unauthorized use. This penalty is $500.00 per offence plus water used and will be enforced.

Coronavirus
Coronavirus (COVID-19) reports in Oregon. Over the coming weeks, it is likely that there will be more cases identified in and around our community.
During times of uncertainty, our residents will look to us for leadership and guidance. While the City of Sodaville does not provide public health services like Linn County or the State of Oregon, we do provide other critical services that residents rely upon. Here are a few things to remember that will help us fulfill our role as public servants:
- Take care of yourselves and your family. Specifically, wash your hands frequently and try to avoid hand contact with your face and eyes as much as possible. Also, remember to cover your sneezes and coughs.
- Use sick leave and other leave when appropriate. If you become symptomatic, please err on the side of caution and use your provided sick leave or other leave types to stay home. This will not only allow you to stay at home to rest and recover, but is also courteous to other employees and community members.
- Help keep our community calm. In your interactions with community members, please help them maintain calm and refer them to the Oregon Health Authority for updates and guidance. Here is a link to sign up for Coronavirus updates: https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORDHS/subscriber/new?topic_id=ORDHS_816
- You can also sign up for text updates.
Just like the influenza (flu) virus we need to use common sense and follow the recommendations from health experts in how we prevent and respond to the Coronavirus.
