1.3 INTEGRATED APPROACH TO MASTER PLANNING

The City implemented an integrated master planning approach and contracted the services of Akel Engineering Group to prepare the following documents:

 Water System Master Plan

 Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan

 Storm Drainage System Master Plan

While each of these reports is published as a standalone document, they have been coordinated for consistency with the City’s General Plan. Additionally, each document has been cross referenced to reflect relevant analysis results with the other documents.
