Missouri American Water praises announcement highlighting the importance of employees dedicated to the delivery of water and wastewater service

Governor Mike Parson recently signed a proclamation declaring September 10-16 as Water and Wastewater Professionals Week in Missouri. With more than 700 dedicated employees statewide, Missouri American Water joins in the Governor’s recognition of the important work water and wastewater professionals do to keep Missourians healthy.

“It takes a lot of infrastructure investment to maintain our water and wastewater systems, but our people are still our greatest asset,” said Svindland. “From our team of water quality experts to our engineers, operators, and field service personnel, the commitment to excellence our employees display every day to protect the health of our customers and the environment is to be celebrated.”
