(2) the problems confronting counties, municipalities, special purpose districts, and public service districts in Horry, Georgetown, and Williamsburg Counties in the delivery of water and sewer services which have resulted from rapid growth and development of recent years;

(3) all phases of the delivery of water and sewer services in the three-county area give adequate consideration to long-range planning in order to facilitate the orderly delivery of water and sewer services to the users in the three-county area; and

(4) the feasibility of establishing a regional water and sewer authority comprising the entities presently providing water and sewer services in Horry, Georgetown, and Williamsburg Counties.
