Company will invest more than $500 million
statewide in 2024
Missouri American Water is investing more than $500 million in
its water and wastewater systems statewide in 2024. The investments
are focused on improving system reliability and resiliency by
replacing aging infrastructure like pipes, pumps, and storage tanks
and upgrading treatment plants.
“Missouri American Water is investing to maintain and enhance
safe and reliable service as many essential components of our water
and wastewater systems are reaching the end of their useful life,”
said Rich Svindland, president of Missouri American Water.
“Proactive investments are more efficient and cost effective for
our customers, and we carefully plan these projects to meet the
needs of the communities we serve as well as state and federal
regulations.”
Statewide, Missouri American Water is replacing over 90 miles of
pipe this year. Replacing aging pipes improves system reliability,
and in cases where water pipe is upsized, also enhances community
fire protection.
Customers can view pipe replacement projects that are planned,
