Each year, American Water flushes the pipes in its water distribution systems across the U.S.

This is an essential part of our system maintenance program, which helps us to continue to provide you with high-quality water service.

Engineers Week is here! This week, and all year round, we recognize engineers for their valuable contributions.

With innovation, expertise, and commitment, engineering teams tackle a variety of issues, advance technology, and help shape a better future for society.

American Water employees across the country came together to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy by turning a company holiday into a “day on”

— an opportunity to serve their communities through meaningful volunteer projects — demonstrating compassion, teamwork, and a shared commitment to uplift others.

When temperatures plunge, frozen pipes can quickly turn from a small inconvenience into a major headache.

A frozen pipe can block water flow, create pressure buildup, and, if left unaddressed, can lead to cracks or full pipe bursts that cause expensive damage.

Water main breaks can be disruptive - knowing what to expect and how to respond can help you stay informed and prepared.

How to Report a Main Break: If you notice a main break or any other water emergency, reporting it is quick and easy.
