Murray City Council approves wastewater boundary adjustments with Midvale Improvement District

Murray City Council held a meeting on July 15, 2025, addressing key community concerns and recognizing local contributions. A significant topic discussed was the ongoing challenges in the housing market, which residents highlighted as a barrier to relocation and overall community well-being. The council acknowledged these concerns, emphasizing their commitment to addressing housing issues in Murray.

In a moment of community appreciation, the council honored Christopher Kestrel, the Park Cemetery Supervisor, as the Employee of the Month. Kestrel, who has dedicated 20 years to the city, was recognized for his hard work and attention to detail, particularly during Memorial Day, ensuring the cemetery remains a peaceful and beautiful space for families to honor their loved ones. The council expressed gratitude for his contributions and presented him with a gift card in recognition of his service.

The meeting also included discussions on adjustments to the wastewater service boundaries shared with the Midvale Improvement District. The council approved two resolutions related to this adjustment, which had not been updated since 1947. The changes primarily affect two properties, including the Sam's Club location, and were deemed necessary for better service management. Public hearings were held, but no residents voiced concerns during these discussions.

As the meeting concluded, the council reiterated their commitment to addressing community needs and improving local services, setting the stage for future initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of life in Murray.
