Honoring Our Veterans
American Water remains committed and takes great pride in creating meaningful opportunities for veterans and military spouses. We are also honored to provide reliable water and wastewater services to 14 million people across the U.S., including 18 military installations.
American Water is committed to hiring military talent and supporting veteran-owned businesses, knowing first-hand that it is not only the right thing to do, but the right thing for business. We partner with various organizations for insights to best practices and opportunities to increase our diverse candidate pools. Examples of partnerships include American Corporate Partners (ACP), Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP), among others. Additionally, we are honored to be recognized with several awards for our commitment to veterans and the military.
