This $15.7M Project Says a Lot About Where Sherman Is Headed
💧 Sherman TX water system upgrade! A brand-new 2 million gallon water tower is coming to Sherman, Texas to support growth and replace the aging tower.
The Sherman City Council just approved the $15.7M project, with construction starting this summer near Texas Instruments.
This will be the first new water tower in Sherman in over a decade and only the second built in the last 30 years. It’ll feature an illuminated design to give visitors a warm welcome as they enter the city.
Sherman is growing fast — and infrastructure like this matters for future homeowners, businesses, and investors.

It’s one of those classic downtown spots that feels nostalgic in the best way — handmade ice cream, rotating flavors, and a line that’s usually a good sign. Whether you’re popping in after dinner, meeting friends, or bribing the kids after a long week, Cranky’s is the kind of place that turns a simple dessert run into a downtown ritual.
