American Water Highlights the Importance of Resilient Water Infrastructure during Drinking Water Week 2023
American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company, celebrates Drinking Water Week (May 7-13, 2023), a more than 40-year tradition led by the American Water Works Association, highlighting continuous investment into our water systems and providing educational resources to help ensure resilient water and wastewater infrastructure for our customers.
At American Water, we deliver safe, clean, reliable and affordable water and wastewater service to our customers, because they deserve nothing less. Over the next 10 years, we plan to invest $30 – $34 billion into our systems, which will enable us to continue to provide essential services to our water and wastewater customers.

Capital investments in parallel with continuous improvement, diligent cost management, and technology enhancements will help maintain affordability.
Throughout Drinking Water Week, we encourage customers to help protect critical water and wastewater infrastructure through simple measures like rethinking what you put down your sink and flush down your toilet, wise water use and more.
