Business Wire
American Water, the largest and most geographically diverse
publicly traded U.S. water and wastewater utility company,
announced today that American Water Resources (AWR) has launched a
partnership with the city of Yonkers, NY to provide optional water
and sewer line protection services for homeowners.
American Water Resources will provide educational information on
residents’ responsibilities for the water and sewer lines on their
property. Under the partnership, homeowners now have the option to
enroll into these affordable protection programs that help provide
peace of mind and a way to pay for repairs to water and sewer
service lines that may not be covered under homeowners’ insurance
or standard home warranties. *
The Service Line Protection Programs offered include:
- Water Line Protection Program
- Sewer Line Protection Program
American Water Resources will establish a local contractor
network and manage all claims. Program enrollees will receive
24-hour support via a toll-free hotline and a one-year warranty on
all covered repairs with no forms to submit and no deductibles.
“Oftentimes, the costs and responsibilities of repairing water
and sewer lines come as a shock to homeowners, who may struggle
with unexpected expenses,” said American Water Resources President
Eric Palm. “American Water Resources has offered our programs to
residents in New York City since 2013, saving homeowners there
nearly $84 million in repair costs. We are proud to offer our water
and sewer line protection programs for Yonkers and look forward to
serving our new customers.”
Details about these programs and how to enroll will be arriving
in the mail for eligible homeowners beginning the week of June 12,
2017. Information is also available by calling 866-315-4476.
*American Water Resource is acting as an independent
corporation, not an agent of the city of Yonkers, which does not
assume responsibility for the actions of American Water
Resources.
“We are excited to partner with American Water Resources to
provide our customers an affordable and easy way to protect
themselves from unexpected service line repairs,” said Mayor Mike
Spano, Mayor of the City of Yonkers. “Through this program,
eligible Yonkers homeowners will now have access to American Water
Resources' protection programs, which can help provide peace of
mind if a service line problem occurs.”
