HOME GUIDE

Mayor’sWELCOME

Welcome to Temple! It just does not get any better than this! Our vision is for Temple to be a place that you love to call home. Whether it is the scenic parks and trails, the family-friendly atmosphere or the unique neighborhoods with Texas charm, we think you will find something here that you love!

Temple is located along the Texas Triangle, situated between Dallas, Houston and Austin. It is just a short drive to most major cities in Texas. You can experience small-town living with big city amenities right here in Temple! We offer robust public and private school options and are close to numerous colleges and universities. Temple is a beautiful community with tree-lined streets, well-planned neighborhoods, beautiful parks and trails, awardwinning recreational amenities, unique art and cultural opportunities, and a desirable downtown. All of these things make Temple a destination of choice for those coming to Central Texas!

Buildings and roads do not make a community. A real community is made up of caring people. All that Temple is and will become is because our residents use their talents, dedication, and hard work in the community. I am proud to serve as the Mayor of our community.

If you are already a part of our community, thank you. If you are considering relocating your home or business to Temple — or simply thinking about a visit — please do. You will not be disappointed!

CITY

WATER CONCERNS

The City of Temple’s Public Works Department is dedicated to providing exceptional service. If you believe you have a water leak, your water pressure seems low or you can’t find your shutoff valve, contact the City’s Public Works Department. While they can’t repair leaks on your side of the meter, they can determine if the leak is on the City’s side. This could prevent you from paying unnecessary plumbing costs.

UTILITIES

The City of Temple provides residential water, wastewater (sewer), garbage collection and curbside recycling services. Residents also benefit from many other environmental services and programs, such as document shredding, household hazardous waste, recycling events, and more. The City of Temple bills monthly for water, sewer, solid waste, and drainage fees. For questions or to start new services, visit templetx.gov/newservice or call 254.298.5616.

STORMWATER

The City’s Engineering division works to prevent pollution of our creeks and rivers from stormwater, urban runoff and illicit discharges. Contrary to popular belief, water that enters the storm drain flows directly into the nearest creek with no treatment or filtration. For questions or to report illicit discharges, please call the Stormwater Division at 254.298.5625.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING

Residential curbside garbage and recycling collections are managed and performed by the City weekly. Containers must be placed curbside by 7am the day of scheduled collection and must be removed by 8pm the same day. Visit templetx.gov/solidwaste to find your scheduled Garbage, Recycling and Brush/Bulk pick up days.

WATER CONSERVATION

Protecting our water supply is essential to the City of Temple. As is typical in Texas, extreme weather conditions can cause drought conditions and outdoor water use may need to be limited. The City of Temple has four stages of water restrictions that are put in place when necessary:

1. Voluntary Water Conservation

2. Moderate Water Shortage

3. Severe Water Shortage

4. Emergency Water Shortage

Utility customers must comply with the appropriate watering schedules when the City implements drought restrictions. During the high-water usage months of summer, we encourage all citizens to conserve water.

WASTEWATER

The City of Temple’s wastewater system is specifically designed to dispose of water, toilet paper and body fluids. If other substances and materials are flushed or poured down the toilet or sink, it can block the flow and cause sewage to overflow into your home, lawn, nearby creeks, and anywhere else it can!
