Mission
The Murray Water System provides potable water to the City of Murray and portions of Calloway County. The water system serves approximately 7,000 customers, including several outlying water districts. In the 2003-2004 fiscal year, the water treatment plant processed 1,314,000,000 gallons of water, an average of 3.6 MGD (million gallons per day). Groundwater is used as the raw water source.

A well field, consisting of five wells, pumps water to the plant for treatment. The McNairy Limestone Geologic Formation is the source of raw water. The existing treatment facility was completed in 1992 as a nominally rated 7 MGD plant, however the current production is about 3.33 MGD. The water system is known for providing very good quality of water: soft, and free of taste and odor.
