American Water Charitable Foundation & California American Water Provide Support to California Wildfire Relief Efforts

VOORHEES, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–California American Water and the American Water Charitable Foundation
(AWCF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization created by American Water
(NYSE: AWK), the nation’s largest publicly traded water and wastewater
utility company, announced today they are providing a grant of $100,000
to Redwood Credit Union Community Fund, North Bay Fire Relief for
individuals and families impacted by the wildfires in Northern
California.

“These devastating wildfires have directly impacted our customers and
our employees, and the American Water Charitable Foundation joins many
others – including our local California American Water team – in
supporting the people impacted by this disaster,” said Laura Martin,
president, American Water Charitable Foundation. “We understand how
critical water is in our daily lives and in times of emergencies, and we
hope this contribution can provide some assistance in the communities
where homes, business, and critical infrastructure have been damaged or
destroyed.”

“These fires destroyed about a quarter of our service district in
Larkfield,” said California American Water President Richard Svindland.
“Our employees, many of whom themselves had been evacuated, have worked
around the clock amidst this destruction. While I am proud of their work
in having successfully restored service to most of the remaining homes
and businesses there, we have many customers who will be displaced for
years.”

The funding was made possible through the AWCF’s Disaster Relief Grant
and California American Water.
