Who We Are
Gary Fiske and Associates, Inc., the developer of Confluence, specializes in assisting utilities with their resource and facilities planning challenges. We work with public and private utilities as they strive to provide a superior level of service to their customers in a context of increasing uncertainty, more stringent regulation, financial constraints, accelerating competition, aging infrastructure, heightened environmental concerns, and increased public and political scrutiny of water resource and pricing decisions. Our pragmatic approach to dealing with often-complex issues enables us to approach water decision-making processes from a unique perspective.The firm distinguishes itself by a broad understanding of all aspects of resource planning, and an ability to facilitate tradeoffs among often-conflicting objectives and work closely with a variety of stakeholders. Our goal is to ensure that the focus of complex analytical processes stays where it should be, namely fostering better decisions, and that information is developed and presented, and processes fashioned, in ways that further that goal.
In each engagement, our objective is to help clients strike the right balance among the diverse needs of customers and stakeholders, subject to the myriad of technical, regulatory, political, and institutional constraints. We have played a key role in developing the resource plans of major U.S. water agencies. Gary Fiske, the company's president, is the author of the American Water Works Association manual entitled Integrated Resource Planning: A Balanced Approach to Water Resources Decision Making.
