Description: American Water Works Company was founded in 1886 as the American Water Works and Guarantee Company. In 1935, the company was reorganized under its current name. In 2003, American Water Works was acquired by RWE Aktiengesellschaft, a German company. The company initially began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1947, was delisted after its acquisition and began trading again in 2008. American Water Works' primary business involves the ownership of water and wastewater utilities that provide water and wastewater services to residential, commercial and industrial customers. The company has four lines of business aside from water management, including: the contract operations group, which enters into public/private partnerships for the provision of services to water and wastewater facilities; the applied water management group, which works with customers to design, build and operate small water and wastewater treatment plants; the homeowner services group, which provides services to domestic homeowners to protect against the cost of repairing broken or leaking pipes; and Terratec Environmental Ltd., which primarily provides wastewater, residuals, transport, disposal and management services to municipal and industrial customers in Ontario, Canada. Its regulated businesses cover 375 individual service areas and include approximately 45,000 miles of distribution and collection mains, 84 surface water treatment plants, 623 groundwater treatment plants and 45 wastewater treatment facilities.
