Community Involvement Focus Areas

American Water is committed to making a meaningful and sustainable difference in our communities and building deeper connections over time. Our community initiatives focus on four areas where we can best apply our knowledge, expertise and resources:

• Water and the Environment
  Innovative, community-based environmental projects that improve, restore or protect our watersheds and our communities’ surface and groundwater.

• Water and Healthy Living
  Efforts that contribute to healthy communities by promoting access to safe water and sanitation, educating customers on the health benefits of water and encouraging good hygiene practices.

• Environmental Education
  Educational programs which provide information about water conservation, water and wastewater treatment, the water cycle, watershed protection and the environment.

• Community Sustainability
  Projects that meet a definitive, sustainable community need, preferably aligned with American Water’s core business, and which enrich the lives of the residents who live and work in the communities we serve.
