The following statement is required by the state to be included in this public notice:
“Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in public places or by distributing copies by hand.” 
Good news! Recent water testing showed no bacterial contaminants, and the voluntary boil water advisory has been lifted.
Sheep Creek water is safe for all normal household uses, including drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and bathing.
Please keep in mind that if we experience another significant flooding event, conditions could change and a new boil water advisory may be necessary.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the Water Team took the necessary precautions to protect our community.

Students Showing Off Supplies Donated by Sheep Creek
Teacher excited he received the item he placed on his wish list.
The Sheep Creek Scholarship Committee asked teachers at South Conejos Schools in Antonito to share their classroom wish lists—and then, thanks to the incredible generosity of Sheep Creek landowners, the committee was able to fill them!
Together, Sheep Creekers donated $850 worth of much-needed school supplies. The teachers and students were thrilled and so very appreciative of our community’s support!
Be sure to check out these wonderful photos of the teachers and students receiving their supplies. The bags you see in the photos are stuffed with all the classroom supplies they received! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11iS71Y-_k0ktcr5jK5r3un1eu5SRKghA?usp=sharing
A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who donated. Your kindness is making a real difference for local teachers and students. We hope you’ll help us continue this wonderful tradition of giving! ❤️
This is truly amazing! We are incredibly fortunate that Josh Helwig has created this wonderful guide to the birds of Sheep Creek. Josh earned his degree in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida and worked as an avian point count technician for the Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, identifying birds throughout Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Colorado. His expertise and passion for birds have given our community an exceptional resource that helps us better appreciate the remarkable birdlife right here in our own Sheep Creek.
Thank you, Josh!
