Salem Water Advisory Continues for Vulnerable Population

• Low levels of algae in the Salem municipal water supply make tap water unhealthy for pets, children under six years old, medically vulnerable adults, and the elderly. (Water is safe for bathing and washing dishes.) City of Salem drinking water recently passed a safety test, but city officials are leaving a health advisory in effect a while longer as a precaution.  Your Club has been actively monitoring the situation with the City of Salem and the Oregon State Fair & Exposition Center.  To ensure that our attendees have access to clean, safe drinking water, Rally organizers and the Oregon State Fair have arranged to host one of Salem’s free bottled water distribution sites just outside the fair For more information visit www.cityofsalem.net.
• Additionally, Airstream, Inc. is sponsoring a “purified water bar” refilling station for our Club. This granular activated carbon-filtered unit—conveniently located on the Fairgrounds at the southwest corner of Columbia Hall—has been augmented to include a UV system and a larger polishing filter that will make Salem municipal water safe for drink Attendees will be able to conveniently refill bottles with fresh, filtered water free of toxins, chlorine and unwanted tastes and odors, too.

The Rally News is also available on salem.wbcci.net every day.
