Please submit a letter and resume to mayor@murray.utah.gov before September 30 for review. Qualified applicants will move forward to an interview process.

Please review the ordinance to learn more about the role of the board, and the mandatory training required for its members.

HEAT Program and Murray Utility Assistance

Need help with your power bill? Murray City participates in the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAT) by donating funds each year to assist Murray residents. The HEAT program is designed to help families in income-eligible households pay their power and gas bills year-round, and it also offers crisis assistance. There are requirements to qualify for HEAT assistance in Salt Lake County:

Must be the person responsible for the utilities
Must have at least one household member who is a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen
Must have an income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty level.

To view the income level eligibility, or to apply for assistance, please visit the HEAT website.

In conjunction with HEAT funding, Murray City provides additional assistance to those who qualify based on their HEAT award. Visit the Utility Relief Program on our website to learn more.
