"This report presents a coordinated approach for the development of reliable and efficient water and sewer facilities in Randolph County, Illinois. It defines the water and sewer facilities required to meet existing and anticipated future water and sewer needs, while remaining consistent with water quality management principles and regional planning objectives. Part I of this report examines physical conditions, governmental units, and community facilities as well as trends in the county's economy, population and land use. Consideration is also given to water resources and existing water and sewer services available within the county at the this time. These factors are used as direct input for the development of comprehensive water and sewer plans. Part II examines the county's specific water and sewer needs and indicates the improvements needed to each system. Through an evaluation of plan alternatives, recommended water and sewer system improvements are made which will meet existing and projected needs."--Page v.

This book introduces community planning as practiced in the United States, focusing on the comprehensive plan. Sometimes known by other names—especially master plan or general plan—the type of plan described here is the predominant form of general governmental planning in the U.S. Although many government agencies make plans for their own programs or facilities, the comprehensive plan is the only planning document that considers multiple programs and that accounts for activities on all land located within the planning area, including both public and private property. Written by a former president of the American Planning Association, Community Planning is thorough, specific, and timely. It addresses such important contemporary issues as sustainability, walkable communities, the role of urban design in public safety, changes in housing needs for a changing population, and multi-modal transportation planning. Unlike competing books, it addresses all of these topics in the context of the local comprehensive plan. There is a broad audience for this book: planning students, practicing planners, and individual citizens who want to better understand local planning and land use controls. Boxes at the end of each chapter explain how professional planners and individual citizens, respectively, typically engage the issues addressed in the chapter. For all readers, Community Planning provides a pragmatic view of the comprehensive plan, clearly explained by a respected authority.
