Missouri American Welcomes New Water and Wastewater Customers in Garden City
GARDEN CITY, MO (December 15, 2021) – Today Missouri American Water officially welcomed approximately 778 new customers in Garden City, located in Cass County roughly 50 miles southeast of Kansas City.
“We are honored to start providing clean, safe drinking water and reliable wastewater services to our new customers in Garden City,” said Rich Svindland, president of Missouri American Water. “The Missouri Public Service Commission’s approval allows us to move forward with investments to improve water quality and maintain regulatory compliance.”
In November 2020, more than 86 percent of voters in Garden City supported the Proposition S ballot initiative to make Missouri American Water their trusted provider of water and wastewater service.
“I am confident our residents made the right choice for Garden City,” said Mayor Marc Walton, after the Proposition S vote. “Missouri American Water is going to make the needed investments in our water and sewer systems, which will bring them into compliance. This will allow us as a city to focus on other priorities and on the future of our community.”
Missouri American Water has committed to investing $7.4 million in the water and wastewater systems over the next five years to meet current and future state and federal regulations.
“Garden City is like many communities across the country facing water and wastewater challenges, and we have the resources and expertise to make the critical investments while keeping rates low,” said Matt Barnhart, senior operations manager for Missouri American Water. “We are proud to be able to provide such exceptional value to our customers.”
