Tim Broeder Marcie Nolan Jo Sesodia Bob Daniels The Sunshine State will always experience growth, whether rapid or slow. This growth will continue to drain the cheap and easy water resources of the State. This session will provide an overview of how three local governments have completely redesigned their long range planning program to incorporate potable water issues into their comprehensive and current plans. The determination of demand, the single utility provider structure, and the costs of these infrastructure projects will be discussed. For local planners, the need and ability to implement long range plans through collaboration between the utility engineer and the planner will be stressed.
