Local picture
Murray owns up to the meter, you own the rest
Murray City's water service notice is plain about it: the property owner owns the water service lateral from the house to the city's meter, and the city maintains the line from the main to the meter. The notice adds that Murray City doesn't offer lateral insurance (ownership notice).
For a water or sewer emergency the city lists 801-264-9669 (report a concern). Murray's wastewater is pumped to the Central Valley Water Reclamation Facility for treatment (wastewater page). Salt Lake City Public Utilities also supplies water to parts of Murray (SLC water quality page).
