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. ### Homes & repairs 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. - [Shower & tub repair ↗]() - [Repiping options ↗]() - [Remodel plumbing ↗]() Murray residential parcel sample **64 %** built **before 1980** **Before 1960** **3,451** **1960–1979** **6,744** **1980–1999** **3,813** **2000 onward** **1,929** ### 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. [County parcel data ↗]()[Our aggregate results ↗]() ### Your water supply 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. - [Water softener options ↗]() - [Filtration & water treatment ↗]() - [City report, page 4 ↗]() One city · Several water providers ### A Murray address isn’t the whole answer. The city water plan also maps areas served by Jordan Valley, Salt Lake City Public Utilities and Taylorsville-Bennion. Check the name on your bill before using a provider’s water-quality numbers or reporting a street-main problem. **Murray City Water** About 80% of the city’s area **Jordan Valley** About 13% **Salt Lake City Public Utilities** About 7% **Taylorsville-Bennion** Less than 0.5%, near Winchester & 1300 West Approximate land-area shares from the 2024 plan; not customer counts. [See the city’s service-area map ↗]() ### Under the streets 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. - [Leak repairs ↗]() - [Pressure regulators ↗]() - [Murray’s main-replacement program ↗]() Mapped city-owned water mains **25 miles** labeled cast iron in the June 2026 snapshot **Cast iron** 25.0 mi **Ductile iron, including polywrapped** 113.0 mi **Other / unspecified** 4.5 mi ### 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. [City GIS source ↗]()[Our aggregate results ↗]() From the archive · May 1911 ## Yes, the main was made of wood. Murray’s 1911 Sanborn map describes a **12-inch wooden main** carrying water from a reservoir toward town, then cast-iron mains serving 28 double hydrants. The note is printed right on sheet 1.

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. ## Let’s get it fixed.

Before you snake it, find out if the drain can breathe.]() A washing machine doesn't drain, it pumps, and a top-loader pushes up to 17 gallons a minute into a pipe that has to take every bit of it. Ten minutes with a five-gallon bucket tells you whether the line is actually blocked or just can't get air, and those two need opposite repairs.
