Recognizing the bravery and heroism of the volunteer
firefighters and first responders in our communities, New Jersey
American Water announces its 2017 grant program for volunteer fire
departments and emergency responders located in the company’s

assistance to the brave men and women volunteering their time and
skills to safeguard the people who live and work in the communities
we serve, including our employees,” said Denise Venuti Free,
