What We Do For Municipalities

Our teams of expert scientists, engineers and plant operators, as well as our field teams and customer service representatives work hard every day to provide the highest level of service to our municipal customers. Our longevity in the water industry, as well as a our national footprint, allow us to offer a wide array of capabilities that other water utility companies cannot.

In addition to our standard services like operations, maintenance, planning and engineering, we are also able to create public private partnerships, help with infrastructure upgrades and create concession relationships. All of our programs are customized to fit the unique needs of the municipality's water and wastewater needs.

A recent report from the USEPA gives us a look inside our country’s water pipes, plants and other infrastructure. Calling it a “significant challenge,” the report states that $300 billion in updates will have to be made over the course of the next 20 years in order to ensure the reliability and quality of water and wastewater service in the U.S. A high percentage of cities and towns across the country have neither the expertise, nor the budgets to make these necessary upgrades and repairs on their own. We do. And we've been helping cites like Buffalo and Seattle deliver a higher standard of service and higher quality water to their businesses and residents. 

In certain situations, American Water can even provide financial relief to a municipality. For customized solutions that can help overcome budget gaps, declining credit ratings or borrowing capacity limitations, American Water delivers. Put the power of the largest investor-owned U.S. water and wastewater services company to work for your municipality. With a proven history of success working with communities around the country, we are making a difference for municipalities through innovative and responsible ways of addressing financial and infrastructure challenges.
