Our History

The Midvalley Sewer District (formerly the Midvalley Improvement District) is a Local District serving the Midvale City and north Sandy City areas of Salt Lake County, Utah.

The District was originally organized on May 17, 1947, as the Salt Lake City Suburban Sanitary District No. 2, with the primary purpose of constructing and maintaining the area's sewer system. On March 9, 2005, the District adopted a resolution to change its name to the Midvalley Improvement District to better reflect its role in the community. In 2024, the District’s name was updated again to the Midvalley Sewer District to more accurately convey its core mission.

As an independent legal entity, the District is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of three publicly elected members. The Board holds decision-making authority, including the power to levy taxes, designate management, significantly influence operations, and maintain primary accountability for fiscal matters.

Today, the District manages approximately 77 miles of sewer pipe and 2,000 manholes, ensuring the safe and efficient removal of wastewater for both residents and businesses in the area. The District takes pride in its ability to fully service the entire system in less than two years, which is well above industry-required standards. This high level of proactive maintenance ensures reliability and extends the lifespan of the system. Over the years, the District has invested heavily in modernizing its infrastructure, incorporating advanced technologies like Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) inspection and Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) repairs. These technologies help to increase the reliability, efficiency, and longevity of the sewer system.

The Midvalley Sewer District is dedicated to providing high-quality, environmentally responsible services. As the community continues to grow, the District remains committed to upgrading and expanding its system to meet future demands, while ensuring compliance with environmental standards and regulations.

Meetings of the Board of Trustees are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 4 PM at the District office. These meetings are open to the public, providing a transparent forum for residents to stay informed and participate in local decision-making processes.
