WGA works for investor and municipally owned gas, water and wastewater utilities on rate, tariff and regulatory issues.  WGA provides expertise in cost of service and market based rates for utility services including transportation, retail and wholesale sales.  WGA represents a wide range of clients in the natural gas and water utility industry, having worked for gas distribution utilities and gas pipelines under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission of Texas, for water and sewer utilities under the jurisdiction of the Texas Commission for Environmental Quality, and for jurisdictional utilities in Arkansas, New Mexico and Oklahoma.

WGA's municipal utility rate consulting service is particularly valuable to the small and medium-sized cities—those who do not maintain in-house staff to perform that service and who do not wish to incur the typically higher costs associated with major national and regional accounting and consulting firms.  WGA's aim is to provide analyses and recommendations which make sense—to the City administration, the financial community and the public—at a sensible cost.

Typical assignments for Investor-Owned utilities include:

• Preparation of Rate Increase Filings
• Settlement Negotiations
• Expert Testimony
• Tariff and regulatory compliance filings

Typical assignments for Municipalities and Municipal Utilities include:
