Plumbing service for Midland homeowners in north Roy
The Roy City 2023 General Plan places Midland in northern Roy between Midland Drive and the Union Pacific tracks, with 4800 South as the south edge. It describes single-family homes from the 1980s to the present.
Midland also contains part of the FrontRunner Station Area in its northeast corner. West Park, which the plan calls one of Roy's premier community spaces, is the main landmark.
Why your shutoff location matters in a cul-de-sac neighborhood
The plan describes Midland's street pattern as winding roads and cul-de-sacs. That makes directions harder on a stressful day, so give the cross street and a landmark such as West Park or Midland Drive.
It also makes the main shutoff valve worth finding before anything goes wrong. Most houses have one near where the water line enters, often by the water heater, in a garage or in a basement. Turn it clockwise to close it.

Two things worth checking in a home of this age
Midland houses date from the 1980s onward, so original water heaters in the older ones are now old enough to be a common reason to call. The repair page and the replacement page explain how to decide, and the tankless page covers a different type.
City pressure on the high side is hard on fixtures. A plumber can test it with a gauge on an outdoor spigot. If you hear banging pipes or see repeated fixture failures, ask about it.
Information to have at hand in north Roy
- The cross street, Midland Drive or West Park as a landmark.
- The age of the water heater from its label and whether it is gas or electric.
- Whether the shutoff valve closes fully.
- Whether the leak or fault is at a fixture, at the heater or in a wall.
- A photo of the label or the leak.
First steps if the water heater leaks
If a water heater leaks, close the cold water valve above it and turn off the power or gas supply to the unit if you can reach the control safely. Water around a gas unit is a reason to be careful.
A leak from the tank itself usually means replacement, while a drip from a fitting may be a repair. A plumber can tell the difference on sight.
