Clean water, clean air, clean energy sources - environmental advantages like these have always been a part of the attraction of Oregon.  The City of Salem cultivates these same assets.  Salem recently became the first state capital in the nation to be named a Green Power Community by the Environmental Protection Agency.  The City ranked #9 out of 24.

Electricity. Salem is fortunate to have two electricity providers.  Both Salem Electric and Portland General Electric provide this critical service to businesses in our community.

Water.  Constant monitoring at the City's treatment facility and daily routine testing of the water at various sites throughout the distribution system helps ensure that a clean and safe product is being delivered to 177,000 customers and that all federal and state regulations are met.  Learn more about the City's award winning water quality and rates.
