"When the well is dry, we know the value of water."
– Ben Franklin

Stephen is recognized as an industry leader for helping communities and public utilities navigate the challenges of assessing the condition of, and extending the useful life of, existing water conveyance and distribution networks. With decades of experience advancing infrastructure programs, he brings his technical prowess to bear when tailoring assessment, analysis, and design solutions that deliver dependable, sustainable water conveyance and distribution systems.

Creativity and imagination are not normally the first things that come to mind when one says "Engineer". But that is exactly what sets Stephen apart. He breaks the mold of conventional engineering archetypes by making everyone feel on equal footing, brainstorming together to optimize water infrastructure solutions. Stephen skips the technical jargon in favor of straightforward options and inclusive thinking.  Consider all possibilities and technologies before narrowing the choices.

This personality trait also makes him persuasive in building consensus for capital projects and educating the public. When faced with an uphill battle to illustrate the value of infrastructure and programs, Stephen Jeffus is your guy!
