SALEM WATER SYSTEM is one of 509 community water systems in Louisiana in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, serving 753 people from groundwater.

As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 72 entries between 2005 and 2025, of which 5 health-based items remain open, alongside 4 other open entries.

Of the 72, 21 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 Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, the Public Notice Rule and Revised PN Rule, and the Groundwater Rule.
