SALEM is one of 248 community water systems in Illinois in the 3,301 to 10,000 people size category, serving 7,905 people from surface water.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 10 entries between 1977 and 2020, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2020.

All 10 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Surface Water Treatment Rules, the Lead and Copper Rule, and inorganic chemicals.

Common questions

Is SALEM required to publish a Consumer Confidence Report?

Yes. SALEM is a community water system, and federal rules (40 CFR 141 Subpart O) require every community water system to publish a Consumer Confidence Report each year.

When is SALEM’s next Consumer Confidence Report due?

SALEM’s next Consumer Confidence Report is due by July 1, 2027. The report covers calendar year 2026.

Does SALEM have any open drinking water violations on record?

As of August 1, 2026, EPA's federal records show no open violations for SALEM.

What is a Consumer Confidence Report?

A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) is the annual drinking water quality report that community water systems must provide to the people they serve. It lists the contaminants detected in the system’s water during the year, where the water comes from, and how the results compare with federal limits. EPA’s revised CCR rule takes effect January 1, 2027, and the first reports in the new format are due July 1, 2027.
