WEST SALEM WATER DEPARTMENT is one of 558 community water systems in Ohio in the 501 to 3,300 people size category, formerly serving 1,350 people from surface water.
EPA's federal records list this system as inactive in 1989; the record below is historical.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 12 entries between 1985 and 1988, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 1988.
All 12 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 synthetic organic chemicals.
