American Water Works Company, Inc. (NYSE: AWK) is the largest regulated water and wastewater utility in the United States, with a history dating to 1886. Through its Regulated Businesses it provides drinking water and wastewater services to approximately 14 million people across 14 states. Its Military Services Group serves 19 military installations under contracts with the U.S. government. The company employs about 7,000 people.
