Its operations extend to around 1,700 communities situated across 14 states, catering to an active customer base of roughly 3.4 million. The firm caters to a broad spectrum of clients. These include individual households, commercial enterprises (such as food and beverage suppliers, property developers, and energy companies), and both public and private fire service customers. Industrial clients, like large-scale manufacturers, mining, and production facilities, also utilize its services. Furthermore, American Water Works supports public authorities, encompassing government facilities, schools, and universities, alongside other utility providers and community water and wastewater infrastructure. Beyond these, the company extends its water and wastewater provisions to numerous military installations. It also enters into agreements with municipal bodies, predominantly for the management and operation of their water and wastewater facilities, in addition to offering a range of supplementary services. The company's infrastructure is substantial, comprising approximately 80 surface water treatment plants, 480 groundwater treatment plants, and 160 wastewater treatment plants. Its vast network also includes 52,500 miles of mains for transmission, distribution, and collection, alongside 1,100 groundwater wells, 1,700 pumping stations for water and wastewater, 1,300 treated water storage facilities, and 76 dams.

Established in 1886, American Water Works Company, Inc. maintains its headquarters in Camden, New Jersey.
The price sits within 2% of the median published target, meaning it broadly agrees with the consensus and fully reflects standard regulated growth, leaving only the bull-case merger synergies unpriced.
