New Jersey American Water is the largest water and wastewater service provider in the state, serving approximately 2.8 million people in 192 communities. More than 840 highly-skilled professionals carry out the company’s foremost responsibility of providing safe, reliable water and wastewater service to our customers.

INVESTED IN OUR FACILITIES

Our team of experts regularly monitor, maintain and upgrade our facilities to continue to operate efficiently and meet regulatory standards. This requires investing millions each year in our infrastructure, including treatment plants, tanks, pump stations, pipes, fire hydrants and metering equipment. We do this because we care about our customers as much as we care about water. Statewide, we invested more than $464 million in 2020 to improve the water treatment and pipeline systems.

HIGH-QUALITY WATER SERVICE

We have an exceptional track record when it comes to water quality and drinking water regulatory compliance. Our water quality and treatment plant operators perform thousands of tests every day for about 100 regulated contaminants. We deploy thousands of online monitors that consistently read water quality. Plus, we have access to American Water’s Central Laboratory, which conducts sophisticated drinking water testing and analysis.

PARTNERSHIP FOR SAFE WATER AWARDS

We take water quality so seriously that five of our water treatment plants have been nationally recognized with Directors Awards from the U.S. EPA’s Partnership for Safe Water program for surpassing federal and state drinking water standards.
