"This report describes the basic provisions of a water and sewer facilities improvement program instituted by a regional planning commission serving a rural, five-county region in southeastern Illinois. The report commences by relating a list of stated water and sewer objectives to the regional commission's basic regional goals. It then enumerates a series of needed water and sewer facility projects, presents criteria for evaluating individual projects, and using these criteria ranks each project in accordance with its project score. The report then describes the basic ingredients of a short-range development program, consisting of five one-year work programs aimed at gradually surmounting the region's water and sewer deficiencies. Plans for developing a citizen participation structure intended to advise the regional commission on all environmental and water and sewer matters are also revealed. The report additionally describes the regional commission's role as the Substate Clearinghouse (regional A-95 agency) for the five counties it serves."--Preliminary page.
