TEMPLE, Texas ( FOX 44 ) – Representative John Carter (TX-31) and Mayor Tim Davis have announced $5 million in federal funding for a City of Temple sanitary overflow reduction project. The Office of John Carter says that mature tree cover in Temple's Knob Creek and Little Elm Creek have impacted sanitary sewer pipes in the area – which has resulted in sewer overflows. Representative Carter secured the funding in the Interior and Environment appropriations bill, 'No one really thinks about sewer pipes until they don't work and then everyone is having a bad time.
