In plain English
American Water is the largest publicly traded US water-and-wastewater utility — a regulated monopoly that draws raw water from rivers and aquifers, treats it across hundreds of plants, and delivers it through ~54,500 miles of pipe to more than 14 million people in 14 states, plus 18 military bases. It grows by spending billions a year upgrading aging pipes and by buying up small municipal water systems — and in 2025 agreed to merge with rival Essential Utilities.
