Attention Utility Users,
Over the weekend several pockets of dark water have come about. Crews and engineers are diligently trying to get them out of the system. They are checking now for any leaks in the system. We know this is a huge inconvenience to all users.
Consumption is fine, No boil water advisory is in effect.
UPDATE
As of Wednesday afternoon, crews identified the likely cause of Sunday’s discolored water issue. In 2010, a redundant piping project was installed South of the water treatment facility. It served a need for many years for distribution. However, now it appears it is trapping water and not allowing for proper flows within a half a mile section. This trapping effect will cause water to become stagnant and discolored if left for a considerable amount of time. With a change of flow from demands further down the line, this water is getting mixed in with delivery of the other distribution line. State officials and engineers agree to isolate and remove the redundancy. Materials are ordered, and a will be shipped overnight. Crews will make all repairs and adjustments as soon as possible. Additional flushing will occur thereafter. In meantime, Salem Utilities will continue to address areas of concern.

Exciting news for Salem!
In teaming up with the Washington County Tourism, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming installation of seasonal banners at our square's four gates. These rotating displays will reflect the changing seasons and upcoming events. To ensure top-notch quality, new hardware has been ordered to replace wind-damaged supplies and repair older brackets. Kicking off the series, the first banner will embrace the beauty of fall. Stay tuned for this vibrant addition to our community!
