The short answer
1 result is above EPA’s legal limit. The worst: Fluoride, above the legal limit. 2 health-based violations since 2016.
What handles itWhat was found
Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and uranium: Oregon’s yearly averages per water system, as CDC’s Environmental Public Health Tracking Network publishes them, 2020 to 2023.
Fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total): EPA’s compliance monitoring file, samples taken from June 19, 2013 to Nov. 20, 2019. Newer results are in the utility’s annual water quality report.

What handles it
A certification covers specific claims, not a whole standard. Look for these claims on the certifier’s listing, not the box. Wording varies a little: NSF writes “Lead Reduction,” WQA just “Lead.”
- NSF/ANSI 53
Claim: Fluoride
For: Fluoride
- NSF/ANSI 58
Claim: Fluoride Reduction
For: Fluoride
At the tap, or for the whole house?
These come with the water itself, so a whole-house system certified for the same claims treats every tap and shower. A filter at the tap treats drinking water for much less. How whole-house systems compare.

What this report can’t tell you
Everything else. Total trihalomethanes (TTHM), nitrate, haloacetic acids (HAA5) and uranium results here are Oregon’s yearly averages as CDC publishes them, from 2020 on, with EPA’s national file for 2012 to 2019. Fluoride, arsenic and chromium (total) come from EPA’s file alone, which ends in 2019. Salmon River Rv Park’s own annual report, which it must send you every year, has newer results for those and the contaminants this page does not show.
Your own plumbing. Lead results are the 90th percentile across homes the utility samples. Your home’s service line, solder and fixtures decide yours. A certified lab test is the only way to know.
What it means for your health. This page reports what the records show and EPA’s limits and goals; it is not medical advice. If you are worried about a health effect, talk to a doctor or your local health department.
Anything after the latest data. SDWIS data is from 2026 Q3; UCMR 5 didn’t sample this utility; CDC’s yearly averages for Oregon cover 2020 to 2023; EPA’s compliance samples are from June 19, 2013 to Nov. 20, 2019.
