Pennsylvania American Water, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), the largest regulated water and wastewater utility company in the U.S., is proud to join the water industry in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), the landmark law that has safeguarded public health by protecting drinking water quality since its passage on December 16, 1974.

“We know that at the end of every water pipe, there's a family depending on us to provide this essential service safely and reliably. We take water quality very seriously and our customers’ safety is our number one priority. When it comes to complying with strict federal regulations for delivering safe, quality drinking water, we’ve consistently scored among the highest of all water companies,” said Pennsylvania American Water President Justin Ladner. “We will continue to work to help Keep Life Flowing for our customers - today, tomorrow, and for future generations.”

Pennsylvania American Water recognizes the SDWA's 50-year impact on water quality and emphasizes the need for continued investment to address emerging challenges in water safety and quality. Over the past five years, the company has funded more than $2.3 billion in infrastructure improvements and expenditures are expected to range from $600 to $660 million annually over the next several years. This investment aligns with the spirit of the Safe Drinking Water Act and its mission to safeguard public health for American Water customers and communities across the nation.

American Water launched a 50-day countdown to the SDWA anniversary. View the highlights here.
