A message from our water supplier:

New residential sprinkler system evaluation program!

The City of Murphy has partnered with the North Texas Municipal Water District (NTMWD) and M&M Irrigation and Illumination to provide Murphy residents with an opportunity to have their irrigation system inspected.

The evaluation report will provide suggested irrigation system repairs, controller settings, and estimated gallons of water saved if you implement all listed recommendations. The irrigation evaluator will not make any repairs to your system, if repairs are needed, you are responsible for hiring a licensed irrigator.

SPOTS ARE LIMITED! Registration opens at 8:00am on the 20th of the month to accept requests for the following month.
