Community Programs

Being a good neighbor is part of our mission at American Water. We are dedicated to Virginia and do make sure we show it.

We give back to the community by supporting innovative, environmental grant programs that improve, protect or restore drinking water supplies and surrounding watersheds. We actively support organizations like the United Way, the City of Alexandria’s annual Earth Day celebration, local watershed organizations like the Friends of the Lower Appomattox and the Friends of the Occoquan.

We also offer customers in Virginia a full array of service line protection programs including a Water Line Insurance Policy (WLIP) and Sewer Line Insurance Policy (SLIP), as well as a recently introduced In-Home Plumbing Emergency Insurance Policy (IHIP). These programs are designed to protect homeowners from the high cost of water and sewer line repairs related to unexpected emergencies that are not typically covered by homeowners' insurance.
