How does Salem Wood Products compare with other water systems in Dent County?
By EPA's size categories, Salem Wood Products is a very small system (500 people or fewer). Dent County has 16 active public water systems. Its population served is well below the county average of 543 people per system, and accounts for 0.7% of the 8,693 people reported by systems filed under the county. Across Missouri, the 2,943 active systems average 2,049 people each. Nationally, the average active non-transient non-community water system reports serving 430 people, so Salem Wood Products is well below that figure.
What does “non-transient non-community water system” mean?
A non-transient non-community water system regularly serves at least 25 of the same people for more than six months a year, but not where they live. Schools, factories, office buildings and hospitals with their own supply are typical examples. Missouri has 228 active non-transient non-community water systems, 7.7% of the state's 2,943 active systems. Groundwater means the system draws its water from wells or springs fed by underground aquifers. 2,521 Missouri systems (86%) list groundwater as their primary source.
Who owns and regulates Salem Wood Products?
EPA lists Salem Wood Products as privately owned. The MO state drinking water program is its primacy agency, the regulator with primary enforcement responsibility for the system under the Safe Drinking Water Act. 8 of the 16 active systems in Dent County (50%) are also privately owned.
Does Salem Wood Products have drinking water violations?
Of the 12 most recent violations in EPA's records, 5 are health-based, and the most recent began in September 2003. The violations listed here began between October 1998 and September 2003. By type: 7 monitoring and reporting and 5 contaminant level above the legal limit. The contaminant or rule involved most often is Total coliform bacteria (TCR) (11 of them). EPA lists 11 as resolved and 1 as archived. Resolved means at least one resolving action is on record: the system returned to compliance, the rule no longer applies, or no further action was needed. Archived means the violation was not marked resolved but is more than five years past the end of the noncompliance period, so it no longer counts toward current compliance status.
