Murray Water & Sewer Line Specialists
Murray City Water delivers culinary water and the Murray City Wastewater Division owns the collection mains, with treatment at the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility. Excavation and encroachment permits come through the Murray City Engineering Division.
Murray is one of the older cities in the valley — significant development ran from the 1850s through 1950 — and that age shows up as aging underground infrastructure across neighborhoods off State Street, Vine Street and 5300 South. Under it is predominantly Bonneville clay, which is well known locally for soil movement and foundation issues, and clay that moves is clay that breaks rigid pipe and pulls joints apart. Lots near the Jordan River commonly have a high water table. Frost depth in the valley is typically 30 to 36 inches, with water service lines generally buried around four to five feet.
