The City of Stayton continues, in coordination with the Oregon Health Authority, to test our drinking water. We have not received a positive test for cyanotoxins in our water system. We are providing this information as a public service to our residents because the City of Salem and the City of Stayton both use the North Santiam River as our water source.
We have just been advised the City of Salem received a new positive test for cyanotaoxins in their drinking water distribution system in the Salem area. Salem’s Drinking Water Advisory applies to the following populations ONLY:
- Children under the age of six
- People with compromised immune systems or pre-existing liver conditions
- People receiving dialysis treatment, or other sensitive populations
- The elderly
- Pregnant women or nursing mothers
- Pets
