American Water (NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded
water and wastewater utility company, will celebrate the 10-year
anniversary of the company’s second entry to the New York Stock
Exchange on Thursday, April 19. President and CEO Susan Story,
Board chairman George MacKenzie, the board of directors and senior
leadership will be on hand to ring The Closing Bell to commemorate
the anniversary.
"We have been honored to provide our customers more than 130
years of safe, clean, affordable and reliable water services," said
President and CEO Susan Story. "We first became publicly traded in
1912 and we were a member for 91 years before being privatized in
2003. In 2008, the company once again became publicly traded.
“While we celebrate our history, we are excited for our future.
Investing in smart infrastructure, ensuring sustainable water
supplies, and finding ways to be more efficient in our operations
are key to keeping our customers at the center of everything we
do."
American Water’s roots date back to the immediate post-Civil War
era, as the nation’s growth shifted from rural communities to
cities and the need for organized water systems became acute. The
American Water Works and Guarantee Company, founded in Pennsylvania
in 1886, was one of the first public utility holding companies in
the U.S., and evolved into the American Water Works & Electric
Company in 1914. The company sold its water business in 1947 to
John H. Ware, Jr., who ushered American Water into a new era of
growth and innovation. American Water established a reputation for
excellence and, through a series of acquisitions reaching from
coast to coast, has become the largest investor-owned water and
wastewater utility in the U.S.
