American Water

American Water was founded in 1886 as the American Water Works & Guarantee Company and reorganized in 1947 as American Water Works Company, Inc.

The primary mission of American Water is to be your trusted water resource company dedicated to delivering innovative solutions.

The majority of the company's activities are centered in locally-managed utility subsidiaries that are regulated by the state in which each operates. These state utilities are supported by the resources of American Water and are an integral part of the communities they serve.

The company also owns subsidiaries that manage municipal water and wastewater systems under contract and others that supply homeowners, businesses, and communities with water resource management products and services.
