Overview

Stormwater Management
Murray City is permitted by the State of Utah to discharge urban storm water runoff under the Jordan Valley Municipalities permit. As required by this permit, the city has developed a Storm Water Management Plan implementing measures to improve storm water runoff quality. View the Storm Water Management Plan (PDF).
To report a spill or an illegal discharge into the storm drain, please call Murray City Public Services at 801-270-2440 or after-hours, weekends or holidays, please dial our dispatch at 801-264-9669.
On July 1, 2006, Murray City implemented a stormwater utility to pay for the costs associated with the collection and management of the Citywide storm drain system. This includes street sweeping, storm drain cleaning, maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and capital improvements throughout the system.
The utility also funds a management program mandated by Federal and State agencies which require increased water quality and quantity controls to mitigate the impact of pollutants that may be discharged from the City drainage system into nearby rivers and streams.

- What if baby ducks fell into the storm drain?
-
If you see baby ducks/geese fall into a storm drain, please call our public works office at 801-270-2440. We will then dispatch the appropriate personnel to take a look and rescue the baby ducks. Please do not attempt to access the manhole or storm drain yourself.
- How do I get the street sweeper to clean my street?
-
The street sweepers have a schedule that they follow so that every public street in the City gets cleaned 3-4 times a year. In special circumstances we can put your street on a priority list and to assess whether your street should be swept prior to the scheduled date. Please keep in mind that the City owns 3 sweepers only and they can only operate in good, dry weather. Click the link below to report a street problem.
