Our Murray field notes

Old houses.
Plenty worth keeping.

Murray’s age shows up in the property records and the city’s pipe maps. Here’s what we found, and the plumbing work we can help you with.

An original look at county property records

The 1970s left
a lot of houses here.

The largest building decade in our Murray study was the 1970s: 4,431 residential parcels. Across the whole sample, nearly two thirds were built before 1980.

We repair older fixture valves, replace leaking supply piping and install plumbing for updated kitchens and bathrooms. You don’t need a full remodel to book a repair.

For a larger project, we’ll go over the existing plumbing with you and price the work before starting.

Our count & its limits

September 2026 analysis of 2025 Salt Lake County assessor records joined to address points inside Murray’s mapped city boundary. One parcel with housing units and a valid construction year is counted once; 15 records without a valid year were excluded.

10,195 ÷ 15,937 = 63.97%. This counts parcels, not people or individual apartments. Construction dates do not establish the age, material or condition of today’s plumbing.

Murray City Water · 2025 report

Local wells.
Hard water.

Murray City Water draws from deep wells and McGhie Springs near Big Cottonwood Canyon. Its 2025 water-quality report lists average hardness of 194 mg/L, or 11.4 grains per gallon.

If you’re adding a softener or replacing one, we can test the incoming water, size the equipment and install the connections. The published average is useful background; the water entering your house is what we set the equipment for.

Our analysis of Murray’s public GIS

Cast iron is still
part of the picture.

Our June 2026 map snapshot includes about 25 miles of city-owned water main labeled cast iron. That’s about 18% of the 142.5 mapped miles marked as Murray-owned.

Most of the mapped mileage is ductile iron, including pipe recorded as polywrapped. Murray’s own conservation page describes an ongoing main-replacement program.

Those are the utility’s mains. For the plumbing in your house, Mountain Man handles leak repairs, shutoffs, pressure regulators and repiping.

Source, calculation & limits

We measured the mapped line geometry for 6,028 records whose Owner field is MURRAY in the public Water Mains layer, archived June 2, 2026. Cast iron (CI): 892 segments, totaling 25.03 miles. DI and DIPW together total 112.96 miles.

This is a snapshot of one GIS layer, not an inspection or the utility’s complete mileage inventory. It excludes private-owner records and does not identify house piping, predict leaks or prove any pipe needs replacement.

The price, in plain terms

What does the
price cover?

  1. Name the work.What's being repaired or installed, and what stays.
  2. Check what's included.Parts, labor, access, cleanup and any required permit.
  3. Settle the open questions.Extra work, exclusions and the warranty for this job.

A quote for work at your Murray home should make the scope clear. Check who handles access and patching, whether any further diagnosis costs extra, and what happens if opening things up reveals more damage.

Found a lower number? Ask us why ours is different. Bring both descriptions of the work. Compare the equipment, repair scope and exclusions before deciding what the difference buys. A higher price alone doesn't prove a better job.

Murray plumbing questions

Before
you book.

Do you handle small plumbing repairs in Murray?

Yes. A toilet repair, leaking faucet, failed disposal or worn shutoff is enough to call us. We also handle water heaters, repiping and plumbing for kitchen, bathroom and basement projects.

Can you repair the plumbing in an older Murray home?

Yes. We repair fixture valves and leaking pipes, clear drains and replace plumbing that is beyond repair. If the job calls for replacement, we explain what needs to come out and what can stay before pricing the work.

Is every Murray address supplied by Murray City Water?

No. The city’s water plan also identifies Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, Salt Lake City Public Utilities and a small Taylorsville-Bennion area within Murray. Check your water bill for the provider. Murray City Water’s published hardness figure applies to its system, not every Murray address.

Can you install plumbing for a basement bathroom or second kitchen?

Yes. We can plan and install the water, drain and vent connections. Murray’s residential remodel checklist calls for a Second Kitchen Covenant or ADU approval from Planning & Zoning when a kitchen is added. We can discuss the plumbing scope while you work through the city’s approval process.

Can you work with a landlord or condo association?

Yes. Let us know who can authorize the work and whether the building needs a shared water shutdown. We can coordinate the plumbing visit with the owner, manager or association.

How do I get a price, or spread out the cost?

Call, text or book a visit. We explain the work and price before starting. If you already have a written quote, send it for a second opinion. Financing through Wisetack is available for eligible work, subject to credit approval and varying terms.
