News Release
June 16, 2019 -- Salem's Water is Safe to Drink - 06/16/19

Salem, Ore. -- Test results from samples taken this morning are in and they show that the water leaving the water treatment facility and entering Salem’s drinking water system is clean and safe to drink. We’ve posted a link to the data below.

The North Santiam River is a dynamic, ever-changing natural system. Small amounts of cyanotoxins (at levels below OHA health advisories) have been again detected in the raw North Santiam river water at the entry point into the Geren Island Water Treatment Plant. Test data shows that the water treatment systems are working effectively and the water leaving the water treatment facility is clean and safe to drink.
