American Water CEO Susan Story and CFO Linda Sullivan Discuss Solutions to a More Sustainable Water Future at One Water Summit 2017

VOORHEES, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–American
Water
(NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded water and
wastewater utility company, today announced President and Chief
Executive Officer Susan Story, and Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer Linda Sullivan will participate in the One Water
Summit 2017 from June 27- 29 in New Orleans, LA.

“Water cuts across so many of our country’s most pressing issues, and no
one can address these challenges alone,” said Story. “The One Water
Summit is an important event not only for solutions-focused
conversations about how we value and manage water to foster economic
prosperity, community well-being, and environmental sustainability, but
also demonstrates our commitment to collaborate with industry leaders so
we can continue to provide safe, clean, affordable and reliable water to
our customers.”

Convened by the US Water Alliance, One Water Summit 2017 brings together
hundreds of leaders from across the country to engage in
thought-provoking dialogue, share best practices, set strategic
priorities, and move forward on actionable ideas.

Story will take part in a discussion that will focus on the ongoing need
for collaboration between the energy and water sectors. She offers a
unique outlook through her leadership roles in both water and energy
utilities and will highlight several American Water projects that
demonstrate the ever-increasing interconnectedness of these sectors,
which will provide utilities with opportunities for greater efficiency
and better service.

Sullivan will participate on a panel that will emphasize how both public
and private investment and expertise are needed to tackle the water
infrastructure crisis. She will provide the perspective of an investor
owned utility and discuss opportunities to break down existing barriers
to private investments, statutory and regulatory hurdles that challenge
private-public sector innovation and cooperation, and ways to maximize
the options and opportunities available to communities.

Both panel discussions will be held on Wednesday, June 28, 2017.
