SALEM MUNICIPAL WATER SYSTEM is one of 209 community water systems in Kentucky in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 1,241 people from surface water.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 3 entries between 2011 and 2015, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2015.
Of the 3, 2 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 Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, the Surface Water Treatment Rules, and the Total Coliform Rules.
