💧 Did You Know? Sewer Winter Averaging Begins November 1

Beginning November 1, the City of Murphy will begin tracking residential water consumption for the annual sewer winter average.

From November through February, the City will use each household’s three lowest water-use months to calculate its sewer winter average. The updated method helps ensure your sewer charge reflects your household’s actual water use during the winter period.
