The objective of the Storm Water Management Program (SWMP) is to develop a program pursuant to which the City of Temple can reduce the discharge of pollutants in the stormwater runoff to the maximum, extent practicable (MEP). This program was developed with much coordination between the City and community to customize a program for Temple that meets state and federal program requirements and also utilizes current activities, addresses issues that are important to the community, and is economically feasible.
